Flower Waltz

The rich tradition of floral symbolism in art spans numerous cultures and historical eras. Flowers have long served as a means of expressing human emotions and commemorating important events, leading to their portrayal in various artistic forms. From still-life paintings to the ornate floral wallpaper adorning the palaces of French and English aristocrats. The fusion of art and science is evident in botanical illustrations, a practice dating back to the 1st Century B.C. The Victorian era saw Pre-Raphaelite artists infusing their work with intricate botanical symbolism, while Vincent Van Gogh’s sunflower paintings stand as timeless icons in the art world. The significance of flowers in art is undeniable so for our May online group show, we invite artists to submit their flower-themed artworks to celebrate the Spring season and the enduring and diverse representations of flowers in art.
