Fanciful swirls of color satiate Flora’s canvases. These are not haphazard eruptions of creativity, they are breathtakingly intricate designs. Each painting, though bursting with vibrancy, is meticulously crafted. The rich color schemes and elaborate shapes lend an air of sophistication to Flora’s work. Weaving her way between artistic styles, Flora creates works that range from the lyric abstraction to the impressionist. At times, the explosion of glowing red, yellow, and green against the dark background of her canvas look like photographs of supernovas. Other times, when light blue and aquamarines bubble up like the surf, the paintings look like they’ve found inspiration in the mysterious depths of the oceans.
Through her art, Flora constantly plays a game of questions and answers. Although the paintings are for the most part abstract, the observant viewer may at times discover figures hidden within the strata of the material. Born in Italy, Flora currently resides in France. Her work has been shown in Europe, Japan, Emirates (Arab United), Canada, and the United States.
