Think Big
It’s easy to assume one should enhance a small
space with small art-objects. Yet one prominent
piece such as a statement artwork will make the
space feel uncluttered and open.

Artistic treatment of a ceiling creates depth: Color,
shapes - such as these clouds - and fun fixtures draw
the eye upward, creating an illusion of height.
Shades of blue and the illusion of sky create a mood
enhancing effect.

goodmoodframes
I achieve great impact by combining theme
and light in an approach I specifically
developed. goodmoodframes are wall-
sized, lit photographs, the themes of which
create the perception of expansive spaces
and a positive and energized frame of mind.
The good mood is caused by association.
Our unconscious mind receives optical
impressions and creates emotions based on
its visual environment. The image of a large
goodmoodframe shapes the feel of a space
profoundly: the bright and inviting energy of
the image causes a positive
mind-shift in the viewer.

Large-format images can greatly shape the
atmosphere of a space. Such designs can have a
cooling or warming effect. The right image creates
a feel of a wide expanse, thus offering a simple
solution for visually opening up small rooms, or
enhancing spaces lacking attractive views.
My main work area is business to business and my
work focuses on artistic and creative solutions for
wall designs. I create large-format photographic
imagery, which achieve a room-enhancing and
space-expanding effect. With some series I
specifically intend to provide calming, relaxing,
invigorating and refreshing environments. These
works have been successfully installed in wellness
resorts, hotels, medical facilities and hospitals, as
well as in offices.

RICA BELNA
Rica Belna, Austrian, born 1973, has called Berlin, Germany
her home since 1993. At the age of 16 Rica started to work
with photography, gaining a first experience with professional
cameras through her membership in a photo-club. This initial
interest and involvement in photography as a hobby, originally
mostly black and white as well as portraits, led to Rica’s full-
time artistic work starting in 2004. In 2006 Rica switched to
digital photography, which opened up an entirely new venue of
artistic and creative work. She now uses DSLR and medium
format cameras.
The opportunity to aesthetically affect and control the
quality of her work right away is very important to Rica.
It provides great possibilities and capabilities in her creation of
large format artworks. In addition Rica developed original
photo-techniques, which produce the unique style seen in her
photo-design works.
Latest developments in digital cameras, image editing and
printing processes directly support the top quality
requirements Rica puts in her art, as well as her preferences for
working on large size imagery in her assignments. She says:
“My creative potential grows with the possibilities that
comemy way”.Starting in 2008, Rica has been developing
unique photographic designs for large-format printing. These
pieces have been up to 25 meters long (approx. 75 feet). Many
of these artworks have been installed in 5-star hotels, office
buildings as well as wellness-resorts.
