Vanda in Moon I

Vanda in Moon I features a single orchid suspended against a softly textured silver leaf ground, exploring stillness, light, and quiet balance. The reflective surface shifts subtly with changing light, creating a calm, almost meditative presence within a space.

Painted in acrylic with hand applied metallic detailing, the work embraces simplicity and restraint, allowing the form of the orchid to remain the focus. The composition invites a sense of pause and softness, making it well suited to contemporary or minimal interiors.

This piece is painted on stretched canvas and finished with metallic leaf for a luminous, tactile effect. Signed on the reverse.

Based in Brisbane, I am a contemporary artist working primarily with botanical forms and expressive texture. My work explores softness, emotion, and the quiet beauty found in natural elements, often incorporating layered paint and subtle detailing to create depth and movement.

Each piece is created slowly and intuitively over several days, allowing the work to evolve organically rather than follow a rigid plan. I’m drawn to the relationship between delicacy and strength, and I aim to create artworks that feel calming, considered, and quietly powerful within a space.
