Botanical

Illustrations and art about plants are not given the same prestige as portraits or historical narratives. However, there is a transcendental beauty within them that is almost primordial. Therefore, nature and the environment are a primary source of inspiration. This inspiration is beautiful but often unnoticed and therefore these pieces aim to bring to light what is hidden.

In this image, the flower represents my life. The deterioration therein represents various hardships but, my faith has helped me to be sanguine or optimistic regardless of those circumstances.
