Storm of Stones and Shadows
Storm of Stones and Shadows is a wallpaper created by Magnus Gjoen exclusively for MaVoix, merging classical architecture, engraving art, and contemporary sensibility.
The design emerges from a visual dialogue between Roman ruins in the style of Piranesi and hybrid graphic textures of the present.
The British artist draws inspiration from a rare 1863 illustrated edition of Paradise Lost, transforming its engravings into a layered, fresco-like, and visionary landscape.
In this mural narrative, matter dissolves into line, the ancient transfigures into visual camouflage, and every element drifts in an alternate dimension of time.
Like a suspended mental space, the wall becomes inhabited by ruins, capitals, and architectural fragments, sculpted in dust and dream.
The entire digital fresco unfolds as a silent echo of the past, filtered through an avant-garde gaze that blurs its contours, merging history and abstraction.
The Two-Tone Musk Edition interprets this frescoed design in a deep, sophisticated palette: moss greens, acid yellow-greens, olive tones, greenish-grey shadows, and dusty accents that lend the composition a mysterious and tactile presence.
The result is a tonal and sensorial environment, both intimate and museal, perfect for those seeking a contemporary mural fresco that evokes materiality, history, and timeless design.
A near-monochromatic yet layered effect, where each glance reveals a new level, and each distance offers a different image.
