Sci-Fi wall art: FAQ

What counts as sci-fi wall art?

Art that imagines the future, technology and the cosmos: space scenes, future cities, speculative worlds and the moods they create. At Hive Arts Studio it spans space, vaporwave, retrofuturism and the eerie Unwelcome Place series.

What is the difference between vaporwave and retrofuturism?

Vaporwave is 80s and 90s digital nostalgia, with pastel gradients, chrome and retro computer aesthetics. Retrofuturism reaches further back, to how the 1950s, the jet age and Victorian inventors imagined the future. They are distinct styles.

What size and material should I choose?

Choose one larger piece over several small ones, and match it to your wall span. Each product page lists the sizes and materials available on Art Heroes.

Is the art original?

Yes. Every piece is an original Hive Arts Studio design, created with a range of techniques and printed to order. The works are not available for royalty-free use.
