A Face I Once Knew

A Face I Once Knew is a distinctive woman and flower poster where portrait art meets a rich world of colour, floral details and quiet expression. The artwork depicts a woman in profile with closed eyes, dark hair and a black high-neck top. Across the woman's face, colourful flowers unfold in shades of pink, coral, orange, blue, cream and green, creating a beautiful contrast against the deep, muted background.

The combination of the female portrait and floral details gives A Face I Once Knew an expression that feels both contemporary and timeless. At first glance, the dark silhouette creates a calm and almost mysterious atmosphere. Look closer at the portrait, and the flowers bring warmth, softness and life to the composition. This contrast makes the woman poster an eye-catching piece of wall art that adds personality without feeling loud or overwhelming.

A floral woman poster with personality

If you are looking for a woman poster that feels different from a traditional portrait, A Face I Once Knew brings together two popular elements of modern wall art: the female portrait and colourful flowers. The flowers covering the woman's face become an important part of the portrait itself, creating an artistic expression that leaves room for personal interpretation.

Her closed eyes and simple profile bring a peaceful quality to the artwork, while the colourful floral details add character, warmth and visual depth. The result is a flower poster and portrait in one – a distinctive piece of wall art that can become a natural focal point in the home.

The colour palette makes this floral poster particularly easy to style. A dark blue-grey background and black clothing form the calm base of the artwork, while dusty pink, coral, muted orange, soft yellow, blue, cream and deep green add warmth and contrast. These colours work beautifully in neutral Scandinavian interiors as well as more colourful homes.

Portrait wall art for the living room, bedroom and beyond

A Face I Once Knew can create a strong focal point in a living room, where the larger 70x100 cm or 100x140 cm sizes allow the female portrait and flowers to make a real statement. Hang the poster above a sofa, dining table or sideboard to create an artistic focal point in the room.

In a bedroom, the woman's closed eyes and subdued background bring a softer and more contemplative atmosphere. The poster is also a beautiful choice for a hallway, home office, reading corner or creative space where you want to introduce modern wall art with personality.

Combine A Face I Once Knew with abstract posters, botanical prints, flower posters or other figurative portrait art to create a personal gallery wall. Alternatively, let the woman poster hang on its own for a simpler and more striking expression.

Choose the right frame

The poster is available in A4, 30x40 cm, 40x50 cm, 50x70 cm, 70x100 cm and 100x140 cm, making it easy to find a size that suits your wall and interior.

A light oak frame adds warmth and beautifully complements the soft floral colours. A black frame emphasises the woman's dark hair and clothing, giving the portrait a graphic and contemporary look. A white frame creates a lighter expression and allows the colourful flowers to stand out against the dark background.

Designed by Hello Poster, A Face I Once Knew is a woman poster for anyone who loves flowers, portrait art and modern wall decor with personality. A decorative yet sophisticated piece where the contrast between the dark female portrait and colourful flowers creates an image worth looking at again and again.

Our posters are printed on 250 gsm silk paper — a strong, wood-free quality paper with a beautiful semi-matte surface that enhances colours and details without glare. Silk paper is often used for art prints and photography because it delivers soft, natural and precise colour reproduction.

Most posters on the market are printed on 170 gsm paper, but we choose to go a step further. We use 250 gsm because we only want to send out something we would proudly hang in our own home. The extra thickness gives a more solid feel, richer colour depth and a quality that truly lasts.

The paper is Nordic Swan Ecolabelled and FSC-certified, and finished with genuine offset printing and water-based varnish — a combination usually found in far more expensive prints.
At HelloPoster, this means you get premium quality at a price that’s still accessible.

How to hang your poster – simple and stylish tips

Getting a poster to hang perfectly is all about the small details. Start by choosing the right height — as a general rule, the center of the poster should sit around 145–155 cm (57–61 inches) from the floor, placing it naturally at eye level. Pick a frame that complements both the artwork and the room, and take a moment to measure so everything hangs straight.

Consider the lighting too: natural light makes colours appear vibrant, but avoid direct sunlight to keep the print looking beautiful for years. If you're hanging multiple posters together, begin from the center and keep the spacing consistent for a clean, balanced look.

It's the little adjustments that make all the difference — creating a refined and well-composed result.

Hang your poster with no measuring stress

Use painter's tape for a quick and perfectly straight result:

1. Hold your frame against the wall where you want it.
2. Place a strip of painter's tape along the top edge of the frame.
3. Mark exactly where the nail or screw should go.
4. Remove the tape and stick it onto the wall — perfectly level.
5. Hammer the nail into the marked spot.
6. Remove the tape and hang your poster.

A simple method for a clean, perfectly aligned poster — every time.
