Sustainable wall art
These fine art reproductions are printed on Hahnemühle Bamboo, the world’s first digital fine art paper made from 90% bamboo fibres.
Bamboo is a highly renewable, fast-growing resource that requires no pesticides and significantly less water than traditional paper sources.
And as each colour in the artwork holds its own meaning, so to does the paper it's printed on. In many cultures, bamboo symbolises resilience, strength and flexibility. As well as continual growth and longevity.

Calming Colour
for sensitive souls
I'm Aimee Johanan, abstract artist based in London.
My work is to use colour as ingredients to feed your soul and bring you some relief, as you navigate through the challenges and stresses of daily life.
I weave in principles from Feng Shui and biophilic design to create art that works with your nervous system and refreshes the energy in your home. So that you can create a sanctuary that soothes and restores your energy.
Rest your eyes
a moment
You're numb to sirens and the roar of rushed vehicles.
Your neurons navigate through hoards of agendas.
Flooded with fragments, faceless voices pour from your devices.
And you ignore the resident ache around your eyes.
The wild animal of your body scans for safety and sustenance.
But then, at your feet; a single leaf.
You trace the branching of its veins with your gaze.
Observe the rich olive of its green and polished leather sheen.
From the periphery, you catch the velvet shimmer of moss, creeping across a window sill.
Whose smog-dusted paint is peeling, revealing ridges of aged grain beneath.
You pull the break on time and allow the train of your thoughts to derail. Off into the ether it trails.
And the knots in your temples begin to unravel.
As your overworked mind claims a moment to unwind.
You are experiencing the relief of Soft Fascination (Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989). A state of gentle, aimless, effortless attention.
Botanical greens
to lower stress
When we encounter the varied, organic greens of the forest, cortisol levels lower and heart rate variability improves. Moving your body from a stressed out, fight/flight state, to one of rest and recovery.
In the studio, I’ve been working with botanical greens to create artwork that invites Soft Fascination. Allowing your mind to relax and wander without effort, and without your phone.
While the verdant hues signal to your body: here you can be.
Each artwork offers a window to wilder spaces. For those moments when your nervous system is reaching for its roots, but the forest is far away.
And each window offers a gentle reminder that you are made of the same ingredients as all of nature.

Deep introspective blues
Lately, these seep, saturated, ultramarine blues have been calling.
Their intensity moves in a different direction from my previous collections, which had distinctly quiet, peaceful energies.
To me, the floods of colour appearing on the pages feels like a rising up from within. Perhaps a sense of true self awakening.
These are very much works in progress, and I'm curious to discover what will eventually surround these blue portals.
