Throughout art history, flowers have been represented as symbols of beauty, but also of ephemeral things. Flowers represent to me new beginnings, renewal, and hope.
They are like life itself, beautiful but ephemeral. We can cut flowers and decorate our vases with them, but their colors and freshness will only be there for a few days, and then, we can no longer enjoy them. That’s why I wanted my flowers to look like they were made of porcelain, in an effort to give them a little transcendence.
“Kaolin flowers”, which are part of my most recent painting series: “Kaolin Dreams”, kaolin is the raw material for porcelain.
Many artists, including Van Gogh, have brought floral arrangements to the canvas, and this is my flower vase. If you look closely, some flowers are fresh and others a little more wilted, like all human work, there is no complete perfection, beauty is in the small details.
For me, flowers are rebirth. The crystal ball reflects the interior of the flower, the inner beauty that is not possible to observe if one positions oneself in the usual angle, sometimes it is necessary to notice the details from another angle, and things that were previously invisible will make sense before our eyes.
