A Copacabana beach Rio poster seen from above the promenade. The black and white mosaic pavement fills the foreground in long rolling waves, walkers spread across it, and a row of palms runs down the left edge. Past them the pale sand curves away, backed by a wall of white apartment towers, while ranks of surf break at right and grey headlands close the horizon.
About the artwork
Drawn as a flat vector screen print with fine stipple in the sand and pavement. The palette is cool and faded: bone and oat sand, slate and petrol for the mosaic and sea, white foam lines, muted olive palms, soft grey-blue sky. A steep viewpoint pushes the promenade forward and lets the shoreline sweep to a vanishing point. RIO DE JANEIRO and BRAZIL are set in white capitals at the top. Portrait, 2:3.
Why you'll love it
- The pavement is the subject — the rolling mosaic pattern carries the eye up the print.
- Muted, not tropical — soft slate and oat tones sit calmly in a room without shouting.
- Full of small life — tiny figures on sand and promenade reward a close look.
- Long sweep — the shoreline curve suits a tall wall or narrow alcove.
Sizes and materials
- Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Nine sizes from 8" x 12" to 30" x 40", plus A4–A1 for European frames.
- Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang.
- Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural.
- Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.
Styling it at home
The oat and slate palette is easy on a chalky off-white or pale greige wall, and stays crisp against warm plaster. It suits bleached oak, linen in sand or stone, and a flatweave rug in undyed wool. In a bedroom it sits over a low headboard with a woven throw. In a hallway, pale frames let the wave pattern echo along the wall without competing for colour.
Shipping and care
Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.
Questions people ask
What is the wave pattern in the foreground? That is the beachfront promenade, paved in black and white stone in a rolling wave design and drawn here in full. Two other Rio prints run beside it here: a city panorama from the forested ridge with the hilltop Christ statue and Guanabara Bay, and a Sugarloaf Mountain view in near-monochrome blue with the granite dome, sailboats and a red cable car.
What size should I get? Above a sofa or bed, 24" x 36" or 30" x 40" holds the wall. For a desk, shelf or gallery grouping, 12" x 18" and 16" x 24" are the easiest to place.
Does it come framed? Paper and matte canvas arrive unframed. The framed canvas option adds a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural.
Print & materials
Every design is made to order on one of three materials:
- Fine art paper — thick 200 gsm archival gallery-grade paper with a smooth matte finish, printed with fade-resistant pigment inks. The choice if you already own a frame.
- Matte canvas — gallery-wrapped over a solid wood stretcher, ready to hang straight out of the box. No glass, no glare.
- Framed canvas in white, black, espresso or natural wood — a slim solid-wood floating frame with the hanging hardware already fitted. Natural and espresso suit warm, timber-heavy rooms; white and black sit better in minimalist and monochrome spaces.
Sizes run from 8 x 12 inches up to large statement pieces, plus A4, A3, A2 and A1 for standard European frames. The exact sizes available for this design are listed in the Size menu above.
Paper weight, inks, frame details and care are all in our Material Guide.

Damage, defects & care
Every piece is printed for you after you order, so we cannot take a print back for a change of mind — please check the size and material first. Our Size Guide shows every size drawn to scale.
If it arrives damaged, misprinted or simply wrong, email us within 14 days with photos of the piece and the packaging. We reprint and reship it free, and there is nothing to send back.
Keep artwork out of direct sunlight. Dust paper prints with a clean, dry cloth; wipe canvas and framed canvas gently with a clean, damp cloth. Handle paper prints by the edges until they are framed. More care tips are in our Material Guide.

- The most affordable option, and the one to pick if you already own a frame.

Matte canvas
Gallery-wrapped over a solid wood stretcher, ready to hang straight out of the box.
- No glass, so no glare — good for bright rooms.
- Holds a touch more contrast than paper.
- Boxed with corner guards.
Framed canvas
A slim solid-wood floating frame with the hanging hardware already fitted, in white, black, espresso or natural wood.
- Natural and espresso suit warm, timber-heavy rooms.
- White and black sit better in minimalist and monochrome spaces.
- The usual choice for a feature wall — nothing to assemble.
