I am pleased to have my brand new paintings in a “Lavender Fields’ series” debuted in this special exhibition. For “In Full Bloom”, I sought to create paintings that evoke the feelings of happiness and rejuvenation achieved through the love for nature and its abundant beauty and endless bounty that it bestows upon humanity. In these paintings, I delved into the color purple with all its hues. The lavender color has been especially meaningful to me during COVID times since I took on interest in gardening during quarantine by planting lavender in my garden. The plant has aroma therapeutic benefits and is a source of relaxation during stressful times. I have always been an avid lover of nature. Thus, the lavender smell and sight bring back sweet memories of good times along with a sense of calmness and peace. Furthermore, my aim was to have a birds eye view of the fields as if I am flying above them. Consequently, my intentions to bring forth the airy quality through the theme and the light hues is to create a lightness not only for the visual senses but for absorbing the flight-like quality of these works. Moreover, the artwork’s titles of paintings on view such as “Lavender Fields Forever” and “Imagine Lavender Fields” allude to the feel-good songs by The Beatles and John Lennon who I admire greatly.

Per Lichtundfire, IN FULL BLOOM is an exhibition of works in various media, ranging from painting to mixed media to works on paper that addresses the depiction of floral motifs, plant-life, vegetation and the rich landscape of a season indicative of growth and bloom.
IN FULL BLOOM refers to both the subject-matter as well as the artists in the exhibition, whose careers, as professional artists, span in some cases over decades – pursued with dedication, focus and love to the necessary detail of their individual practice that makes them stand out among equals.
