FLORALS and NATURE

FLORALS & NATURE Series

Anything I can say about flowers is redundant, for they speak for themselves. I just surrender to their beauty and humbly ask for their permission to allow me to portray them the best I can. But my best attempts are never enough because their perfection eclipses any amount of effort I can make to reproduce such brilliance. In spite of it, I love painting and spending time with them: Their bright colors, amazing shapes and delicate petals are a joy to observe and paint; it is a way of meditating, of appreciating and connecting with what is bigger than us, the maker of such beauty and perfection.

This Series is formed by two groups of paintings: FLORALS & NATURE, and LEAVES. To view the paintings of this Series please click the corresponding image below, or the links above.

‘Can one conceive of any reason for a flower’s beauty excepting our ability to enjoy their exquisite splendor? Of course there are scientific reasons for flowers beautiful colors such as attracting animals to spread nectar and enabling them to reproduce. Just the same, there could have been many other ways to allow for plant species to reproduce. It is my belief that the world is beautiful so that we could have the pleasure of enjoying it. A flower is a testimony that the world is designed for our enjoyment.’ Flower By Family Friend Poems / CC BY 3.0
