Exploring the intricate beauty of flowers through painting is a passion that continually inspires and challenges me. This piece draws inspiration from the works of Dutch floral masters and the vibrant world of contemporary floral photography. Through these influences, I discovered a unique characteristic of the Australian light—its intensity and vibrancy differ profoundly from Europe's softer, more diffuse light.
In this composition, my choice of color and the selection of flowers were vital elements, each carefully chosen to reflect the vivid and dynamic Australian light. The inclusion of the ornate table adds a touch of elegance and contrast, grounding the piece in a sense of timeless sophistication.
Flowers' delicate nature and fleeting existence stir profound emotions within me. They evoke a sense of awe and wonder, and through my work, I strive to convey these feelings to the viewer, inviting them to pause and appreciate their ephemeral nature.
