Ancient Flowers I Painting

Flowers and plants have appeared on the earliest of artefacts, and continue to inspire art and design. They have played important roles in civilizations around the world. I have focused on plants and flowers in my work often, experimenting with different techniques and mediums in the process. In this work, I have created a mix of abstract painting techniques and printing techniques. I have used chinese brushes, and I have created linocuts, inspired by the flower designs of antiquity and have used them in this work. The colours are also inspired by ancient Greek and Roman frescoes. This work is on unstretched canvas.
