Flower fair - Dreams in Motion"
This surrealistic composition magically brings together two worlds: the fragile beauty of a flower and the playful energy of a carousel. Using Photoshop and Corel Painter X3, the images were merged into a dreamy whole in which reality and fantasy merge. The stems of the flower carry the windmill, as if nature itself produces the fun. The colourful, soft background enhances the feeling of an elusive dream, in which gravity and logic momentarily cease to apply.

Advice for print:
Recommended material:
- Acrylic glass - gives intensity to the colours and depth to the composition. Perfect for modern art with surrealistic influences.
- Alternative: Aluminium- for a sleek look
Recommended size:
- 80 x 120 cm (portrait format) - this format accentuates the vertical lines of the flower and the float. It allows the details to stand out without dominating the interior.

Why this format and material:
The combination of vibrant colours, fine details and dreamy atmosphere deserves a presentation that captures and amplifies light. Acrylic glass provides just that effect: brilliance, colour deepening and an almost 3D feel. Large, but not too large, so that it stays in balance with the space.
