Carmen (Flower Portrait) (MEDIUM) Photograph - Limited Edition of 15

Inspired by my love of photography and the beauty of flowers, this series was borne out of creative frustration and boredom one evening. Having seen digital collage works of some of the photographers I follow online, I was inspired to try my hand at it with the portrait I was editing at the time, using some of the old masters still life works I had already collected. Carmen is the first in this series. Over the years the project has grown and found meaning, but ultimately it is a project of Art for Art's sake. A way to capture and covet beauty in it's fleeting but magical moments, juxtaposing the old with the new to create a kind of homage to beauty and momento vivere.
