Artist Discription:

This painting, "Flora Cluster," offers a mesmerising bird's-eye view of a bustling bouquet. The composition challenges the viewer's sense of orientation, creating a dynamic, almost disorienting experience that mirrors the intricate chaos of the flowers themselves. Painted with a rich, deep navy background and a contrasting gold-edged black box frame, the piece feels both opulent and immersive.

The artist's love for pattern design and hyperrealistic techniques is evident in the detail of each blossom. Certain flowers are brought into the foreground with stunning clarity, while others recede into the background, creating a sense of depth and a continually shifting focal point. This technique invites the eye to wander and discover new details, turning a simple still life into a complex and moving visual journey.
