Yes, that erotic association is entirely correct. A central form with organic, petal like edges blooms for me from cool turquoise at its core towards a juicy, scaly green at the edges, against a background of luminous white.
This is a painting about the force of life and of being reborn anew. Delicate transitions of color and soft modeling with light give the motif a sensual, almost bodily depth and a subtle eroticism.
In botany there is much about love and about ways of pollination. I lead the smooth glazes and the flowing transition of tones so as to build an impression of budding, new life — this is an intimate and refined painting, which will bring into a bedroom a mood of warmth, closeness and sensuality full of elegance.
