This painting is part of my floral exploration series and explores connection through simplified organic forms that resemble open hands, petals and abstract botanical elements. Set against a soft blush background, the bold red and magenta shapes create a visual conversation between energy and calm. The work invites viewers to find their own meaning—whether it be growth, community, playfulness or the simple act of reaching out.
Inspired by the expressive cut-outs of Henri Matisse and the bold, contemporary abstraction of modern colour-field and biomorphic art, this painting reflects an intuitive approach to shape and colour. Rather than depicting recognisable objects, it celebrates emotion through simplified forms, vibrant contrasts and the joy of spontaneous composition. The textured surface adds depth and reminds the viewer of the handmade process behind the work.
This artwork comes framed in Tasmanian oak.
