Do plants sense scents? Scientists have proved that they do. The scent of ripe fruit acts on them. They then ripen faster themselves.
Tall, velvety gray forms with a soft, furry texture grow upwards and blossom with intensely blue, opened finials like curious little snouts drawing in the scent of the meadow. When a branch of an acacia is broken it then secretes a scent warning the rest of the plant of danger and other branches produce a toxic substance in order to discourage an animal from consuming them.
That is why in my paintings there appear botanical beings which have traits of both the world of fauna and of flora. At their feet spreading, white and silver umbels of small flowers resemble wild yarrow. After all we are all connected.
The background, kept in warm beiges and a cool blue, gives the scene a soft, dreamlike depth. The combination of grays with a lively cobalt creates a mood that is mysterious and at the same time tender and full of humor. This is an expressive work, which will enliven a modern living room or an elegant dining room.
