Tulips flamingo

This work continues the series "Velvet flowers" in which I explore the world experience of floral designers and use it in a modern still life. I was inspired to create this work by the floral composition of made by German designer Hürriyet Bulan.

To enhance the visual effect, I used materials that have the most tactile sensations - pastels and velvets. The black velvet background absorbs light and creates an extra deepness of space. And the texture of velvet, combined with pastels approaches the texture of living colors creating an effect of hyperreality. It makes them almost tangible.
