The paintings in the series 'Floral Body' examine flowers as a sites of transformation, where organic structures, colour, and form echo the dynamics of living tissue. Enlarged petals and stamens dissolve into layered fields of pigment creating an active, generative system — a place where growth, fragility, and intensity converge. They are besed on the artists photography archive, a visual database of plants and flowers from the expeditions around the world.
