Botanical Reign

"Botanical Reign" is a conceptual study that explores the boundary between human identity and the overwhelming abundance of nature. Inspired by the lavishness of the Rococo era and the meticulous floral still lifes of the 17th-century Old Masters, this portrait transforms the subject into a living allegory of fertility and internal growth. Through the deliberate use of dramatic chiaroscuro, the intricate textures of the fruit and flowers are elevated to sacred elements, emerging from a timeless shadow. It is a visual meditation on the beauty that blooms within the human subconscious - a sanctuary where nature and the self become one.
