Handmade ceramic backsplash in the spirit of Ivan Bilibin’s illustrations of Russian fairy tales.
The kitchen handmade ceramic backsplash is composed of story slabs and a decorative frieze with a repeating pattern of Bilibin’s fish. The slabs show a fabulous landscape with a rocky island and openwork trees, surrounded by a roaring sea with stylised water crests. Ancient Russian boats with orange and scarlet sails are rushing towards the isle.
The handmade ceramic backsplash is made in the slab technique, which allows the image to be perceived as a whole without it splitting into tiles. This technique also adds relief to the image, so that the glazes and colours play with the light.
The design is based on several Bilibin’s illustrations for various fairy tales and fragments of his sets for plays, which he designed in the early 20th century.
