Original artwork description:

From the September 2023 collection of colourful abstracted flora inspired by my recent trips to tropical gardens around the UK and memories of my childhood in Szarvas, Hungary, and holidays abroad.

This new series explores that incredible positive feeling of osmosis that happens when we as humans are immersed and spend time in nature.

Inspired by a need for getting away after the lockdown, and new found love for painting tropical scenes, this more figurative addition to my abstract work started in early 2023 into utopian escapist scenes.

This series has vistas that lie before you trapped in time, exploring how we hold favourite memories in our mind, each could be a rose-tinted memory. As a direct contrast to being trapped in confinement for two years as a collective with the world, this series explores freedom, nostalgia, gratitude and enjoying the simple things such as a holiday that maybe we took for granted before.

I've been visiting tropical pavilions around the country for inspiration, as well as my drawing from memories of my childhood in Szarvas, Hungary and travels over the years. This nostalgic series invites you to heal in the wonders of looking up, and becoming lost in amongst the flora.
