Original artwork description:

This painting is part of my ongoing experimental body of work, where I explore the delicate and fleeting beauty of nature using flower petals as my medium. I am fascinated by the way petals can imprint their essence onto the canvas, creating organic textures and unexpected color variations.

In this piece, I wanted to capture a sense of movement and impermanence—the way flowers bloom, fade, and transform over time. Some petals remain vibrant and full of life, while others seem to dissolve into the background, reflecting the natural cycles of growth and decay. The soft, muted pink backdrop creates a feeling of calm openness, allowing the interplay of greens and deep reds to emerge and fade, almost like a memory.

This process feels deeply personal yet universal, inviting quiet contemplation. Through these works, I am still discovering new ways to express emotion and connection to nature, letting the materials guide me as much as I guide them.
