About the Art
What the artist saysI try to find and document the unobserved beauty that exists within and around us.
Why we like itA simplistic nod to the organic nature of the tulip. The horizontal orientation allows the blossoms to extend, demonstrating the strength behind the delicate blooms.
Where we hang itThis piece would look great in conversation with another floral work, perhaps of a different medium. We also love to see it juxtaposed against a more industrial cityscape.
