How Flowers Heal us
“Artists give people something they didn’t even know they were missing” Jaya Lakshmi.
How will these floral paintings uplift your spirit?, you might ask. Here are some ways that I have discovered while talking with hundreds of art buyers during my exhibits at art galleries and in my studio.
Connecting viewers with warmest memories.
All of my paintings are our memories, gentle yet deep, silent yet powerful, connecting us with our past, childhood memories, ancestors and our native lands. My art is their language. It gives voices to my heartfelt memories. It HEALS me.
And my Art Collectors share with me the same feelings: the art they buy evokes THEIR warmest memories. Of places and people. Through the cold blizzards of winter or our blues, floral paintings WILL uplift your spirit and bring joy to your loved one. It HEALS them.

Evoking emotion through color
Visual is the most powerful sense we have. And the COLOR has an immense effect on the viewer. When I posted the image of this painting, “Flourish of the Soul” (see below), on my FB page, almost 100 hundred people responded within two days. They were effected. Why?

The color choice and brush strokes create a symphony of an intoxicating allure. In this tulip oil floral painting the foreground bursts with most positive colors - hues of crimson, fuchsia, and sunlit yellows. Shadows play gracefully beneath each bloom, enhancing their three-dimensional presence against a backdrop of greens and blues.
Each flower seems to bloom eternally, frozen in a moment of perfect beauty and captured in a timeless embrace of artistic expression. As this painting is impressionistic, the viewer can tip toe among tulips forever finding new emotions and experiences every time. All of them (emotions and experiences) will be exclusively positive, such an important element in my artistic mission.
I hope, in your strolls in my Floral and Tulip collections one of the paintings will speak to you in that soulful intimate voice.
Any floral painting is a thoughtful gift for yourself or for (or in memory of) the person you love and care about.
With warmest wishes,
