On a warm afternoon, the deep green looks almost illegally fresh. Frida's face is broken into faceted triangles of beige, terracotta and dark green, framed by red flowers and a deep green backdrop.

A room with a lot of neutral tones suddenly has a focal point. The green pulls a sofa, a rug or a houseplant into the same conversation, and the red flowers stop the whole thing feeling cold.

Hang it where you spend time looking up — above a sideboard, behind a desk, or on the wall opposite the sofa. Portrait orientation suits narrow walls between doorways too.

Pair with warm woods, brass handles, terracotta pots and linen. A rust-coloured cushion or a clay vase will tie the red back into the room.

Skip the busy gallery wall — the canvas reads as a finished object and carries the room on its own.
