In this ever-changing world, there are places and experiences that remain etched in our memory, evoking memories of happiness and timeless beauty.
For me, one of these special moments was when I visited and discovered the famous Keukenhof garden, a true tulip paradise.
This experience was much more than just a tourist getaway; it was an endless source of inspiration, prompting me to express my fascination with these magnificent flowers in a unique way: through the art that I offer you on my creations on glass, porcelain and steel.
What these flowers tell us
The ephemeral beauty of tulips has always fascinated me. These flowers captivate our gaze and evoke intense emotions. It is this same fascination that pushed me to create a special collection in my online store, where tulips come to life through a series of unique and ephemeral hand-painted products. It is also my mother's favorite flower and I had the privilege of offering her a trip to discover and realize her dream of visiting this place.
The Inspiration behind this collection
During these 3 years when I had the privilege of living in the Netherlands and during 2 visits to the famous Keukenhof garden, I was deeply marked by the splendor of the tulips in full bloom. Each variety, each color seemed to tell a story, a story of life and renewal. It was then that I realized that I wanted one day to capture this fleeting essence through my art.
Located in Holland’s floral region, Keukenhof Gardens is a veritable botanical treasure trove. Every spring, it lights up with millions of tulips in every imaginable shade, creating a dazzling spectacle of colour. Strolling through its flower-filled paths is an unforgettable sensory experience, where the pure beauty of nature seems to touch every fibre of our being.
Creation and design
Creating this ephemeral collection was a process filled with passion and emotion. Using materials such as glass, porcelain and steel, I sought to reproduce the delicacy and vivacity of tulips in each piece. Each pattern, each detail was carefully designed to reflect the ephemeral beauty of these iconic flowers.
Limited availability
Like the tulips themselves, this collection is ephemeral. Each piece is available for a limited time, creating a sense of exclusivity and urgency for those who wish to own a work of art inspired by nature.
This time limitation adds an extra dimension to the acquisition experience, encouraging those passionate about this flower to seize the opportunity when it presents itself.
In conclusion
Tulips, with their ephemeral beauty, remind us of the transience of life and the need to savor each moment. Through my ephemeral collection, I sought to capture this transitory essence and offer tulip lovers a unique opportunity to own a piece inspired by their splendor.
May each work be an invitation to celebrate the ephemeral beauty that surrounds us and to greatly appreciate its value.
I also invite you to come and discover the famous Canadian Tulip Festival which takes place in Ottawa, the dates for 2024 are from May 10 to 20!
