Flower Movement: A Seed of an Idea

It must’ve started with a spark—an impulse to paint flowers. I thought, why not? After all, I’m an artist, and I like to paint anything that moves me—anything that inspires, anything that surfaces from within.

Flowers have always fascinated me—not only for the obvious reasons: their colors, their intricate and endless variety of forms, their essential role in our environment—but also for something more elusive. They carry an emotional charge, a kind of quiet drama that I wanted to explore on canvas.

I imagined them in grand spaces, painted in a way that felt expansive—where they could breathe and exist freely. And those imagined spaces eventually began to echo the spirit of my Horizons series. Or maybe Horizons led me here. I don’t quite remember. My work is deeply interwoven. One idea gives way to another. Some come from a single fleeting image, others from a tangle of impressions and memories. It’s all connected.

So far, I’ve created a small group of these pieces in a more intimate format. But I see larger versions in the future—paintings that fully embrace the scale I feel they deserve. I’m waiting for the right moment. And like most things in my process, only time will tell.
