'Emma' or flower composition after Cy Twombly

Vanitas is a recurring subject of my practice, because I am obsessed with the perfect example of life and death given beautifully by flowers. Every time that I start a new composition I am excited and at the same time I am willing to include some flowers that I already picked. Obsessed with flower composition and a specific color combination, I take a walk in the world wide web where fields of digital blossoms are to be found. Normally I like to bring with me a basket with some of my favorite ones to give them a second life, maybe I photographed them in the physical world, I cut them all with my digital scalpel.

The inspiration for this ongoing series started from the paintings of Cy Twombly especially during his stay in Rome, Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert and a friend of mine who's been struggling with life. But it is also about my own practice, and layers of time. Glitching is a method to visualize a different balance and movement to the composition but also a metaphorical link to the unexpected results in life. The idea of provoking a malfunction in colours and alignment it is also inspired by the kintsugi technique where the wabi-sabi vision of beauty merge with the idea of memento mori.
