Artist's Note
‘Flowers are actually some of the most difficult forms to paint, because you have to capture the spatial aspect, their physicality, the surface of the flowers and the colours. You hope the whole painting will give the sensation of seeing a flower – the brilliance of that experience.’
‘It was raining, and I cut flowers and put them in a vase and started painting them. Years later it’s the same process, but this time around, I was more interested in the flowers rather than the vase.’
