Fly by Justin Peters: Leap across a gorgeous sky with this humpback whale! The dreamy atmosphere portrayed in this print is enhanced through the use of pink and yellow hues, the silhouette of the hill and the trees, and the juxtaposition of the whale amongst the clouds. Is a room feeling a bit cold? This print will instantly warm it up!
Whale In The Fog by Justin Peters: This edited photo is impressive – the sheer exaggeration of the size of the whale’s tail is enough to overemphasize the immensity of the mammal. The density of the fog adds to the overall effect as the tail is seconds away from falling back into the water, or the beautiful landscape below.
Fog Whale by Justin Peters: The artist plays with this stunning shot of a mountainous landscape and creates a comparison between the fog and a sea of waves. The nicely juxtaposed whale leaping out of the fog is purposely enlarged, making the rest of the scene look miniature. This impressive print would look great in an entrance hall, perhaps even combined with other works by the artist included in this list.
Jumping Whales by Catherine Ciorano: Swim with the whales under a dreamy sunset or a lovely night sky with this gorgeous set of three designs of jumping whales. The beauty of whales is sometimes underrated, but these prints will bring the love back to life – hang them up in your living room and spread the appreciation!

The Whale by TerryFan: This digital work representing a sperm whale intelligently makes use of a portrait setting to put emphasis on the size of the mammal – only half of it fits in the picture. The vessel at the top adds some suspense to the scene, making this a perfect print for a room that needs some thrill and excitement.
Whale Shark by Jonas Claesson: The world we know is little compared to what we do not know – this beautiful work evokes a solitary feel as a person floats in what seems like a lonely sea. The dark whale shark beneath the water creates a wonderful contrast with the light blue water and sky. Do you want to add an exciting tropical feel to a room? This print will fit in beautifully.
The Whale Shark by Henry Rivers: The gorgeous shading of the ocean on this print is a wonderful emphasis of depth, yet even the sun rays reach the deepest bottom of the ocean. The size of the swimmer and the tiny fish accentuate the size of the shark whale. Would you also like to go for a deep sea swim?
5 Panel Canvas Whale Art by Moco Art: Spreading a painting of a whale over a five-panel canvas is an excellent way to accentuate its size, and also a beautiful way of filling an entire wall. As presented here, such a set would fit perfectly in a living room or a large living space like a dining room or office.
The Whale Song by Ophelia: This digital work of art evokes both a mystical and eerie feeling: despite being deep in the ocean the sun rays shine through, brightening the dark, blue sea. This print is both beautiful and inspiring and would look lovely in a bedroom.
Infinite Dreams by Artem Rhads Cheboha: Observe this gorgeous red sky as the clouds double as the waves that hold the sailing ship above the water while accompanying the whale beneath the seas. This is one of the beautiful prints by the Artem Rhads Cheboha, whose other works can also be found in the list below.
Waiting for the Wave by Artem Rads Cheboha: The artist Artem Rhads Cheboha is brilliant at blurring boundaries between the sky and the sea, as portrayed in some of his other digital artworks in this list.

Sorrow for the Whales by Artem Rhads Cheboha: Appreciate the wonderful mix of cold and warm colors in this scene that depicts a fishing boat in the sea and a whale in the sky.

Sky for Dreamers by Artem Rhada Cheboha: This stunning digital work of art plays with a very wide palette of blues merged with the beautiful and warm rays of the sun. Despite the chilly weather suggested by the couple cuddling with a blanket on the pier, this scene is made sweet by the orca whale amongst the clouds. Would you also like to cuddle beneath this sky for dreamers?
Childhood Dream by Siddhartha Saravia: Are you looking for a print to decorate a young girl’s bedroom? This overlay of photos creates a sweet scene of friendship and love, as the whale swims down to let the girl touch it.

Bathed in blue light, the night sky effect is perfectly achieved. Hang this in your office and swim far from the comfort of your desk!
Towards a Safer Place by Anato Finnstark: This work is a beautiful but sad reference to whale hunting; several whales swim across the sky. They have already been struck, and the one in the middle is still bleeding, but the blood turns into pink flowers, perhaps an indirect reference to the popular cherry blossoms of Japan. Are you passionate about this cause? You can now show support and solidarity with this wonderful print.
Venus by yurishwedoff: A wonderful contemporary work of art, this girl floats in front of a full moon above a sea of whales. Conceptually amazing, this print would appeal most to young adults.

Minimalist Whale Sea Art by Surfing & Climbing Design: The minimalism portrayed in this print is impressive: it is not only the color palette that is extremely limited, but also the depiction of the waves and the whale. The artist restricts himself to using rounded longitudinal rectangles, creating a very geometric overall effect. Are you a fan of order and perfection? You can hang this perfectly-satisfying print in your home!
Animals in Moiré – Killer Whale by Andrea Minini: Through a play of black and white, the artist creates a striking design in moiré.

This print will add fun to any room!
Animals in Moiré – Whales by Andrea Minini: This second design in moiré is even more basic and impressive: there are just some parallel lines that are curved in a manner that brings out the shape of a large and a small whale.
