This painterly world map artwork uses loose watercolour-style washes to turn continents into vivid colour splashes on a clean white background.

The image shows a vertically arranged world map broken across multiple panels, with continents defined by blended gradients, irregular edges and scattered paint flecks.

A bright palette of blues, purples, reds, oranges, yellows and greens contrasts against crisp white space for a lively, eye-catching effect.

The look is distinctly watercolour-like, with softened edges, fluid colour transitions and visible speckling that keeps the map feeling light and expressive.

Its colourful, modern map composition could work well in a living room, office, hallway or kids room where you want a cheerful focal point.

Clear negative space and saturated colour give it a bright, energetic mood with playful colour movement across the continent shapes.

The bright rainbow map sits well against white or neutral walls and can be balanced with natural wood tones and simple furniture. Black or gold accents help the colours look more intentional, while keeping the overall look clean.
