Floral Nova brings together the imagery of a flower and a radiant celestial body, exploring renewal, transformation and the life force connecting nature with the wider universe.
The word “nova” derives from the Latin word for “new” and is used in astronomy to describe a star that suddenly becomes much brighter. In this painting, the idea of a nova becomes botanical: a luminous flower appears to bloom across time and space, adapting to changing environments while carrying vital energy at its centre.
Floral Nova presents creation as an ongoing process. Its radiant forms suggest that beauty and life can emerge under unfamiliar conditions, offering moments of joy, wonder and a renewed awareness of what it means to be alive.
