Floral Portraits
My floral portrait series celebrates the distinctive character of chrysanthemum blooms. Each piece captures the unique personality of its subject - as individual as a human portrait, yet transformed through an architectural lens.
The inspiration for this series emerged from my own attempts at growing chrysanthemums. While my gardening produced unexpectedly wild and unruly blooms, their unconventional beauty revealed something compelling: imperfection is beautiful.
Using sophisticated color palettes and minimal compositions, I transform these complex blooms into powerful contemporary statements. The work balances precise technical execution with organic form, creating pieces that are both commanding and ethereal. Each portrait challenges our perception of classical beauty while celebrating the character found in unexpected forms.
