Living Portrait of Flowers
Living Portrait of Flowers is a collection built on the quiet tension between artifice and life. Each work begins as a traditional still life, inspired by the old masters who shaped centuries of floral painting. Yet the pieces don’t stay confined to the canvas. Blossoms push forward, colours thicken, petals tilt toward the light as if they have decided to step into the world beyond their frame. The paintings become living portraits, not of flowers alone, but of time, movement and presence.
