New Collection: Swan Lake

The new Swan Lake collection brings to life an exquisite painting of swans amongst the lilies by Russian artist Irina Vakuleva.

So much has been happening behind the scenes at Sian Zeng over the last few months. Now, we are ready to reveal our highly anticipated and newest addition to our collection of mural wallpapers and we couldn’t be more excited about it!

Inspired by the elegance and grace of Tchaikovsky's ballet, Sian Zeng's new Swan Lake collection is an enchanting mural wallpaper that invites you to bring art, nature and tranquility into the home.

As with all of our collections, Swan Lake demonstrates a unique fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics. The beautiful scene of swans amongst the lilies was hand painted by the incredibly talented Siberia-based painter Irina Vakuleva who studied at the prestigious Academy of Architecture and Art in Novosibirsk.

Many weeks were spent creating a design that could accommodate interiors of varying sizes. The swans are positioned high above a large area of lilies so that they are visible when furniture is positioned directly in front. For rooms with lower ceilings, wallpaper can be trimmed from the sky section at the top or from the lilies area at the bottom.

Painted at 100% scale, Irina covered her bedroom walls with paper in order to produce her exquisite artwork at this size. At Sian Zeng, we have adapted her painting into a high quality wallpaper. Up close, even the finest brush stroke is visible, as though it was hand painted directly onto the wallpaper. The result is a beautiful large-scale work of art, suitable for both residential and hospitality settings.

Sian says, ‘when choosing the colours for Swan Lake, we went for a serene Natural Green colourway which has a fresh, spring feel to it, as well as a warm terracotta which brings a soothing or romantic atmosphere to a space.’
