About the Artist
Created by MORYARTY, this Amsterdam Minimalist Map reflects the studio’s dedication to blending contemporary design with urban storytelling. MORYARTY approaches city mapping as both a visual language and a way to evoke a sense of place, drawing on a background in graphic design and architectural aesthetics.
The studio’s work is rooted in the tradition of modernist cartography, where clarity and structure are valued over embellishment. MORYARTY’s maps are designed for those who appreciate thoughtful, pared-back design and wish to celebrate their favorite cities through art. Their pieces are often found alongside curated minimalist wall art and distinctive map posters in contemporary interiors.
The Artwork
This Amsterdam map poster transforms the city’s iconic canals and street grid into a refined visual emblem. Rather than depicting narrative scenes, the artwork serves as a symbolic landmark, representing personal connections to Amsterdam—whether as a cherished home, a memorable trip, or an aspirational destination.
The piece draws inspiration from the evolution of city maps as both practical tools and objects of design. In the context of modern interiors, it functions as a subtle tribute to Amsterdam’s unique geography and the rhythms of daily urban life, making it meaningful for travel enthusiasts and city lovers alike.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features a precise network of blue lines on a white background, illustrating Amsterdam’s canals and streets with crisp minimalism. Generous negative space and balanced proportions give the print an airy, contemplative quality, while the cool blue palette evokes a sense of calm and order.
The design is rooted in the principles of Bauhaus and modernist graphic art, emphasizing legibility and simplicity. Subtle variations in line density guide the viewer’s eye through the city’s structure, resulting in a visually striking yet understated piece that rewards close attention.
In Interior Design
This print is well-suited to living rooms, offices, bedrooms, or entryways where a touch of intelligent, understated art is desired. Its cool tones complement light woods, steel, and linen, and it works beautifully in monochrome or Scandinavian-inspired spaces.
For a cohesive look, pair it with other blue toned prints or maintain a serene palette with white wall art. The minimalist Amsterdam map poster appeals to those seeking refined, modern decor with a sense of place.
