18.08.2025 13:37 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I thought I’d post a few more pictures of my chayote vine painting, currently a WIP. The first two pictures are scans, and the last one is a photo. None of these are an accurate depiction of real life colors, although I’d say scans are the closest 🙃 #GreenHeart #SciArt #botanicalart #watercolor #art

Is this too personal to share? Should I just resume my posts as if nothing has happened? But then again, how could I possibly pretend that I’m okay when I’ve been struggling so much? In June, my mom celebrated her 66th birthday in a hospital and died a few days later. My heart shattered into millions of pieces. I thought I wouldn’t be able to paint at all. Then, a few days ago, I felt like picking up my brushes to process my feelings, thoughts and emotions. My grief. I’m not ready to share what I’m working on just yet. All I’ll say is that it’s a figurative piece that is full of powerful symbolism. A tribute through creation as I learn to navigate life after loss… Rest in peace, mom.
Coming back to social media after suffering a profound loss is the strangest thing. I’ve been struggling to find the words to express how I feel. Wondering what to say… or if I should say anything at all. (Continued in the alt text section.)

Gorgeous! I think Gallica roses might be my favorite 🤔 they have such a beautiful flower shape!

P.S. I currently have LOTS of rose paintings in progress! Stay tuned 💖

Thank you, Daniel! I hope Tuscany will get there by the end of this summer 🥹 Or maybe next year, then… Here’s a second rose I planted: a modern hybrid called Pierre Hermé: this rose was chosen by a famous French pastry chef Pierre Hermé himself, to be named in his honor 😍 it’s very fragrant!

Today, botanical art societies and artists from around the world come together to celebrate the renaissance of botanical art by holding exhibitions in their respective countries. The 2025 focus is on the theme of crop diversity, and I will be joining an exhibition held by VBKB, a Society of Botanical Artists in Belgium, later this year with my painting of a chayote vine (currently still a work in progress). Je suis très malade depuis plus d’une semaine, mais comment aurais-je pu manquer Botanical Art Worldwide ? Chaque 18 mai commémore la Journée mondiale de l’art botanique. Aujourd’hui, des sociétés d’art botanique et des artistes du monde entier se réunissent pour célébrer la renaissance de l’art botanique en organisant des expositions dans leurs pays respectifs. L’édition 2025 sera consacrée à la diversité des plantes cultivées dans les industries pharmaceutiques, cosmétiques, alimentaires et même du textile, et je participerai à une exposition organisée par la VBKB, une société d’artistes botaniques belges, plus tard cette année, avec ma peinture d’une chayotte (encore en cours de réalisation).
