Poppy flowers have long been a symbol of my country of origin. They carry memory, resilience, and a quiet strength rooted in the land. Their deep red colour — bold yet fleeting — has always drawn me in.
In Poppy Dance, the poppies move through a moment of transformation. The flowers are not fixed in bloom; they are in motion, shifting toward seed. This transition holds both beauty and purpose. What begins as colour and softness becomes nourishment, continuity, and potential.
The painting reflects this cycle — the elegance of appearance giving way to function, the visible transforming into the essential. Each form carries the trace of what it was, while already becoming something else.
Poppy Dance is a celebration of change, of origins, and of the quiet intelligence found in nature — where nothing is wasted, and every phase has its meaning.
