Collage: Reading Baleal ( without frame ! )
The inspiration for this piece comes from the place I chose to settle about four years ago. I often find myself dreaming of those perfect days—crisp, beautiful lines rolling along the ocean, watching powerful women ride longboards with grace, reading the waves and dancing on their boards like a royal ballet.
Ciel Glue’s retro-inspired surf art adds timeless coastal charm to any home, café, shop, or space that values vintage design, surf culture, or contemporary decor. Whether you’re longing for the waves of last summer, redecorating with vintage style, or simply aiming to infuse your space with tropical surf vibes, Ciel Glue’s collage is a personal and fitting addition to your walls.
Printed on 300g paper.

I take great pleasure in finding these images of vintage surfers, their lives destined to the closed pages of a dusty magazine at the back of a library and rescuing them from their dark, eternal fate. Bringing them back to the ocean and placing them on the waves of their life. Giving back to them that feeling of the first drop in.
My line of creation resides around the sentence; “To read the wave". Click for more Ciel Glue.
