Urban Nature
The Urban Nature paintings are hand-painted originals and limited editions inspired by the works of Matisse, which are full of beautiful patterns. The plants and flowers represent abundance, innocence and the organic world, as well as growth and hope for the future. A couple of still lives are 'forces of nature', they symbolise good virtues or good characteristics a person can have. The Art Deco inspired patterns emphasise the 'forces of nature' themes, they have a great graphic quality and are self-designed.
