Where Flowers and Dreams Rest

2025
Acrylic and collage on canvas, framed
130 x 97.5 cm (artwork size)
£7000 inc. frame
ENQUIRE HERE

In Where Flowers and Dreams Rest, a woman carries a baby on her back and a basket of flowers upon her head. The weight she bears is both literal and metaphorical — the responsibilities of motherhood, work, and care. Yet her face remains serene, embodying the strength that women express with gentleness. Composed in soft pastel tones and enriched with collage elements — fabrics, papers, and wallpapers — the painting conveys calmness and resilience.

In this series, the female figure gradually merges with the natural world, blurring the line between body and landscape. Clothing and adornments transform into leaves, flowers, and roots, dissolving the distinction between human and nature. These works reflect on identity, belonging, and the timeless desire to return to what is essential and organic. They suggest a simple truth: we are part of nature, not apart from it.

The Silent Bloom

In The Silent Bloom, the female figure gently fades into the natural world, her presence dissolving into a blue atmosphere. The hat she wears releases leaves that drift away, carried by an unseen wind, evoking both fragility and transformation. The work reflects on identity, impermanence, and the quiet beauty of letting go. It suggests a simple truth: we exist in constant dialogue with nature, shaped by its cycles of change.

Floral Spirit

In Floral Spirit, a female figure dissolves gently into a soft beige background, as if becoming one with her surroundings. Her head blooms with flowers, and her garments are made of petals and leaves, turning the body itself into a garden. The work evokes a sense of quiet harmony, where human presence is transformed into pure, living nature.

In Words in Bloom, the vase of flowers becomes a reflection of our inner world. The flowers are both fragile and strong, much like we are, they bend, but they don’t break. Among the petals, I’ve collaged fragments of letters and words that are intentionally unreadable. They represent the thoughts and emotions we carry but don’t always express, the things that remain unspoken, yet deeply felt.

This work is about finding beauty in stillness, about the quiet resilience that exists in all of us. It’s an invitation to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with that inner space where everything slows down.

It’s Too Controversial, Can You Paint Some Flowers Instead?

Acrylic and collage on linen, framed in blue

ENQUIRE HERE

These vase works are part of a series where I explore and satirize certain behaviours and dogmas within the art world. With a mix of irony and tenderness, I use traditional oriental vases as the stage for these scenes, moments that expose the vanity, ego, and contradictions that often surround the art industry.

The choice of the vase itself is symbolic. These objects are often sold for absurd amounts at auctions, celebrated as unquestionable masterpieces and status symbols. I wanted to use them as a critique, to reveal how greed and speculation can sometimes replace meaning and authenticity in art.

It Takes Two to Tango

It Takes Two to Tango

2023
Acrylic and collage on linen, framed in blue
70 x 55 cm (artwork size)
ENQUIRE HERE

In It Takes Two to Tango, the vase is breaking. Inside it, two figures dance, inspired by Matisse’s Dance figures, sometimes in harmony, sometimes in conflict, symbolizing that delicate balance between connection and rupture, creation and destruction. The breaking vase captures the precise moment when the desire for change collides with the old order.

Through these works, I question not only the art market and its obsessions, but also my own place within it. It’s about recognizing fragility, both in art and in ourselves, and seeing that fragility as an opportunity to rebuild something new.

Ultimately, It Takes Two to Tango is a metaphor for human connection, collaboration, and the courage to break what no longer serves us, so we can create something more genuine from the fragments.
