  • As an artist, I ventured beyond my usual static floral compositions to create this dynamic celebration of proteas. Against a rich dark chocolate background, these magnificent blooms come alive with their rose-tinted petals, creating a striking interplay of light and shadow. The inspiration struck me unexpectedly while working on a small watercolor sketch - the proteas' natural elegance and bold presence demanded to be captured on a grander scale. Moving from the delicate watercolor to acrylics on a large canvas allowed me to amplify their vibrancy and create a more commanding presence. The deep background serves as a sophisticated stage, elevating the natural drama and beauty of these extraordinary flowers, while the acrylic medium brings out their bold, sculptural qualities in a way that honors their unique character.
