Boreas — John William Waterhouse Series

Inspired by Boreas by John William Waterhouse, this art-inspired colorway draws from the dramatic movement and emotional tension captured in the painting. Waterhouse’s work freezes a moment suspended between stillness and force — wind, fabric, and figure all caught mid-motion.

That sense of energy carries into this colorway. Cool, atmospheric tones are layered with depth and contrast, creating a palette that feels dynamic yet grounded. Subtle shifts in color echo the sweep of wind and the fluidity of the scene, bringing visual movement to finished fabric.

Boreas translates classical art into fiber — expressive, moody, and quietly powerful.
