[New Release] Five new art posters by Julita Elbe from Paper Collective
Today, I’m excited to share some new art posters that are perfect for a Scandinavian-style interior.
We’ve added new pieces to our collection from the Danish art poster brand "Paper Collective"—this time featuring works by German artist Julita Elbe.
The new arrivals include five pieces: "Rhythm of Form," "In Balance," "Contour," "Poetry of Geometry," and "Missing Flowers." When I first saw them in person, my immediate reaction was, "Oh, how gentle." They possess a soft sense of depth, as if layers of paper have been placed one atop another.
Julita Elbe’s posters are especially recommended for those who might find abstract art a bit intimidating.
In this post, I’ll introduce the artist, explore the unique appeal of each of the five pieces, and share some tips on how to display them so they blend beautifully into a Scandinavian-inspired home.
Julita Elbe is a German artist who layers paper with digital elements.
Who is Julita Elbe?
Julita Elbe is a designer and artist based in Münster, a city in northwestern Germany.
After studying design in Münster and working for many years as a freelance designer, she shifted her focus toward creating art.
Where does the gentleness in the work come from?
The secret lies in the "materials." She uses thin tissue paper or handmade cotton paper to layer colors and textures, then integrates digital elements into the mix.
Her motifs are inspired by shapes and lines found in nature and architecture. She favors a palette of understated colors, creating compositions that feel warm and serene—which is precisely why these bold abstract pieces blend so naturally into any room.
Paper Collective’s new poster collection features five works by Julita Elbe.
What kind of works are in the "Poetry of Geometry" series?
"Poetry of Geometry" is a series that combines the precise, architectural lines of geometry with the delicate softness of tissue paper. Where the translucent sheets overlap, the color deepens, creating a sense of depth.
In piece 01, for example, three rectangles are layered over a hand-painted, mint-colored background. Another design features a semicircle layered atop a rose-colored background. I invite you to take a close look and appreciate the subtle translucency of the paper.
What kind of work is *Contour*?
The theme of "Contour" is "cut gemstones."
Combining paper collage with acrylic paint, the collection explores the connection between the forms of gemstones and the human heart and emotions. Hues reminiscent of rose quartz and brown diamonds are paired with neutral tones. The compositions, which emphasize the "facets" of the stones, evoke a sophisticated, mature aesthetic.
What kind of work is *Rhythm of Form*?
As the title suggests, *Rhythm of Form* features a composition in which shapes seem to create a rhythm.
The piece is defined by a striking contrast of white, purple, and brown. Soft, organic forms overlap with precise, structural shapes, all framed by a bold, black border. This black outline serves to make the delicate, lighter colors within truly stand out.
What kind of work is *In Balance*?
"In Balance" is a piece that immediately catches the eye with its contrast between soft colors and black. True to its title, the pale hues and black are arranged in an exquisite balance, lending the work a gentle yet sharp, defined quality.
What kind of work is *Missing Flowers*?
"Missing Flowers" has the most gentle-sounding name among the five pieces introduced here.
The title—"Missing Flowers"—naturally sparks the imagination, doesn't it? The artwork depicts a vase with no flowers in it; yet, even without them, the vase in the poster radiates a dignified presence.
For a Scandinavian-style interior, the best way to display posters is to group two or three pieces that share the same tone.
Q. Which room will the Julita Elbe poster fit in?
A. All the pieces have calm colors, so they go well with both the living room and the bedroom. It goes particularly well with rooms that have a lot of natural materials such as wooden furniture and linen.
My house is also decorated with Scandinavian furniture and Paper Collective posters, and when I have pieces like this that show the texture of paper, the whole room becomes softer.
Q. What are some tips for displaying several posters at once?
A. If you line up two or three pieces from the same series, it will create a unified, gallery-like feel. For example, if you put Poetry of Geometry side by side, you can enjoy the rhythm of different colors.
If you want to combine different series, we recommend matching the color tones. Mint, green, rose, beige, etc. If you lean toward one or the other, it will come together.
Q. What frame colors match Paper Collective posters?
A. We recommend frames from Paper Collective. The frame is very thin and the corners are sharp, giving it a beauty that is different from other frames.
It gives a clean Scandinavian impression, which is different from Japanese picture frames. It's also nice that it doesn't interfere with the delicate paper texture of the work. One of the things that makes it so popular is that it comes in a wide variety of sizes and colors.
Size: A4, 30x40cm, 50x70cm, 70x100cm
Color: Oak, Dark Oak, Light Ash, Black, White, Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Pink, Orange, Orange/Pink, Yellow/Orange, Pink/Blue, Blue/Green
