The Unplanned Beginning
The origin of these flower paintings lies in a moment without a plan. What began as an intuitive drop of paint slowly grew into an organic whole of shapes and colours. The flowers found their own rhythm; I simply followed.
A Changing World
But as the work grew, the world around us changed as well. 2020 brought silence where there had once been movement, distance where closeness should have been. That year, I said goodbye to my grandmother. The flowers became heavy with meaning — a quiet ode, a final tribute. The painting I want to give you flowers was filled with energy, gratitude, and grief. It was a piece that knew more than I could put into words.
Setting the Work Aside
After that, I set the series aside for a while. Life moved on, but people’s reactions stayed with me: “Do something with this, it moves me.” Still, I couldn’t find the right moment to continue, until loss returned to my life. Friends who passed away. Grief that demanded images instead of words. From that necessity, I found my starting point again: the flowers became a language once more, a way to transform farewell and memory into strength.
The Paintings Find Their Way
And as I created more flower paintings, I noticed that they almost instinctively found their way to others. They sold quickly — beautiful, yet it felt as if the deeper story remained untold. That brought me to the next step: Flower Theory.
The Thought Behind Flower Theory
Flower Theory is not just a new series, but a thought.
I believe that when you give someone a bouquet of flowers with the right intention, it stays alive longer. It blooms because the energy is right. But when the intention is wrong, it withers quickly. The same goes for painting: a piece carries the energy of the moment in which it was created.
Colour in Bloom
With Flower Theory, my love for colour — which was also central to The Record Lines and The Color DNA — returns, but in a new form. No longer in lines, but in bloom. The colours speak the same language, just in a different way.
Symbolism and Presence
The flowers themselves carry symbolism: strength, energy, presence. They are not quiet still lifes, but energetic works. Gifts. Works meant to be passed on, like a bouquet given with the right intention.
