Features of modular paintings

A distinctive feature of modular paintings is not only the division of the whole image into fragments, but also the absence of a frame, due to which all elements look like a single whole. Depending on how far you place the image modules, you can create an excellent effect of image depth and mobility. It is these characteristics that make this element of decor so interesting and impressive.

There are no special rules for creating such decorative paintings, apart from the distinctive characteristics. Such canvases can be painted with acrylic or oil paints or printed on canvas. You can divide the image into fragments in any direction. This can be a picture divided into four squares, into vertical or horizontal stripes, or generally diagonally. Moreover, it is not necessary that all the details form a regular square or rectangle. It can be a cluster of geometric figures with edges protruding one after another, which are united only by a common pattern, connecting at the same time as puzzles. There are plenty of options, the main thing is that the whole creation harmoniously fits into the style of the room. For modular compositions there are no restrictions regarding sizes either; it all depends on the quadrature of the wall on which the modular canvas will be placed. However, do not make the parts too small, the minimum size for one of the sides of the module should be at least 300 mm.

The picture, divided into segments, can be located as on a separate section of the wall, for example, above a sofa or bed, or completely from floor to ceiling to occupy the entire wall, creating an original atmosphere in the room.
