Description
Another forgotten piece from my Flowerspeak series. I quite like this one. Its very melancholic to me, and I sometimes feel this way.Related content

The stylised flowers are so beautiful, I can see them as a fabric pattern! In addition to all the deeper meaning of course, and taking nothing away from that.

When I look at this, I come to think of the inner garden of the mind being constrained by one's role in society. I love the lush growth of those plants behind the bars, it's like one little corner of a vast jungle. The prints on his shirt are like a vague reminder of this inner reality, but cannot really match it. I wonder how do you interpret this picture yourself?

Thank you so much much for this great comment, I love it when somebody is finding some things and connections in my work I didn't even know I put in them. It was actually hard to answer this, because it made me think a lot... I usually work in a very intuitive way, something pops in my head so I capture it, or I just start painting and I don't know how it will turn in the end. Majority of the Flowerspeak paintings are build up on some concrete thing or thought, but this one was different, much more abstract. I guess it unites my love and passion for nature, my passion to protect it and help it grow, and on the other side the flowers could be just a metaphor for some wild dreams, ideas, overthinking, fears. I imagine myself standing at the corner in a hall full of people, and my head is going to explode from all the fears and images and thought, which grow through me. And on the shirt, I am not really sure. I just know I create the pattern out of many shamrocks, but put there also one cloverleaf, as a little symbol of hope or future happiness...

The garden of the imagination is wild, so it contains beauty as well as fears. To have an active mind sometimes feels like your head is going to explode, I know that feeling well. But I think that's being a thoughtful person or an artist is necessarily like. By the way, I noticed the four-leaved clover or shamrock there - it was satisfying to find.
