OPPO Collaborates with Artist Julian Stanczak to Provide Aquamorphic Wallpaper in ColorOS 13

SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach - 8 September 2022 - Following the release of ColorOS 13, OPPO today unveils a new Aquamorphic Wallpaper[i] in collaboration with the estate of Op Art artist Julian Stanczak (1928-2017) with Stanczak's work Blue Diffusion # 2 on OPPO Theme Store Art+ Channel.

The wallpaper features the iconic blue tones of the ColorOS Aquamorphic Design combined with Julian Stanczak's mastery of color, giving users visual enjoyment and a unique aesthetic experience.


As one of the founders of the international Op Art movement and a master of color, Julian Stanczak made paintings that prompt a visual, psychological, and emotional response in the viewer. In this collaboration, the Aquamorphic Wallpaper operates seamlessly with the Aquamorphic concept in ColorOS 13. Stanczak's reverence for color comes from a desire to translate the drama and power of nature into a universal impression, which highly echoes the intention behind the Aquamorphic Design. Inspired by water (the natural and organic element of nature), the Aquamorphic Design is to provide a fluid, vibrant and inclusive user experience by vitalizing users when using the phone. The energy of the different wavelengths of light shown in the Aquamorphic Wallpaper is intuitive and abstract, yet private in everyone's experience and use, providing an artistic and natural experience for ColorOS 13 users.

" Building dialogue through product and time is what makes a design good. It should be able to respond to people's psychological needs in the moment", as Xi Zeng, OPPO's Director of Software Design said. "The wallpaper collaboration of Julian Stanczak and OPPO incorporates nature, art, and technology to create a digital experience that encourages self-reflection, inspiration, and vitality."

In addition to the Aquamorphic Wallpaper, ColorOS 13 offers other wallpaper options, such as Blossom Wallpaper, providing a visually aesthetic experience while focusing on users' digital well-being. The new operating system just released on 18th August also includes other smart features such as Multi-Screen Connect, a range of updates on Always-On Display, Meeting Assistant, and a brand-new Aquamorphic Design to better serve 500 million global users.



[i] This will be available in the OPPO Theme Store Art+ Channel for selected regions/countries including: India, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
