Alchemy Tiles - Ocean Journey - Full Kitchen Splash Back

Ocean Journey Inspired by the ever-changing life beneath the waves, Ocean Journey is a bespoke hand-carved encaustic tile installation designed to transform a kitchen into an immersive architectural feature. Marine life flows gracefully around the room, weaving between windows, worktops and the range cooker to create one continuous artwork that celebrates movement, discovery and the beauty of the sea. Every tile has been individually carved by hand before being inlaid with coloured clays using a rare 13th-century encaustic technique. Whales, shoals of fish, an octopus, sea turtle and delicate marine details are seamlessly integrated across the installation, with colour and pattern permanently embedded within the clay rather than applied to the surface. Designed in close collaboration with the client, the installation reflects a lifelong connection to the ocean while demonstrating how bespoke ceramic surfaces can become an integral part of a home's architecture. Rather than existing as a series of decorative splash-backs, the artwork unifies the entire kitchen, bringing together craftsmanship, storytelling and enduring design in one cohesive composition.
