The latest in my series celebrating beauty and what is more beautiful than a hydrangea (and my daughter of course!).

Continuing my series celebrating beauty, this painting, with its vibrant colours and blossoming flowers, becomes a vessel for the intangible—the elusive memories that linger on the edge of consciousness, just beyond the grasp of understanding.
As I painted, the colours and flowers in this piece brought back a memory which I could not articulate. It is a memory that continues to elude me, yet its significance is undeniable. There is a palpable aura of yearning within the memory, and this translates into the work, as if the essence of the past beckons to be remembered.
This painting invites you, the viewer, to join me in this exploration of the mysterious terrain of memory. It is an invitation to embrace the beauty of the undefined, to revel in the emotional resonance of what once was and what may forever remain just beyond conscious reach.

Having just returned from Greece, I am inspired by its mythology. I see the beautiful woman in this piece as a siren: a figure whose beauty and voice lure sailors to their doom. Yet in this interpretation, the danger lies not in malice, but in the irresistible pull of beauty and complexity. The siren is no longer just a myth, but a metaphor for every moment we are drawn to something beyond our control.

When I was five, I was given a book of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales—a gift I loved so much its tattered cover and torn pages still tell the story of how often I returned to it. One story, Thumbelina, captivated me in particular. Her journey through a world of towering flowers, oversized creatures, and the looming threat of living underground both fascinated and frightened me.
This painting is an homage to that childhood memory. The girl, nestled among an explosion of vibrant blooms, embodies the spirit of Thumbelina—delicate yet resilient, seemingly lost, yet discovering beauty and strength in her surroundings. While creating this piece, I wasn’t focused on literal details, but rather on evoking the sensation of being enveloped by nature, where fragility and power intertwine.
The flowers are more than just a backdrop; they represent how I saw the world as a child—immense, awe-inspiring and full of wonder. This painting is my way of bringing those early dreams to life, where they continue to shape and inspire my imagination.
