Fleurs

This piece is part of my Sacred Wild collection. The goal of these works is to amplify the inner spiritual energy that I perceive in the subject to make it visible to all. I experimented with different materials to create my own technique which combines pastel brushed with alcohol, bold pastel pencil outlines, and ink. I really like the interesting textures created by combining the wet and dry media.
My reference for this artwork was a photo of flowers I took at a garden in Paris where I lived for a summer with my then-boyfriend and his family. I loved the patterns created as the sunlight landed on each individual petal.
