'Life Among Petals' by Tatiana Anisimova. Oil on canvas, 40x30in.

A cluster of hydrangeas glows against the night, their soft magentas forming a β€˜nest’. A bee rests - guardian, keeper and the life that ensues the petals return again.

Awakening by Tatiana Anisimova. Oil on Canvas, 30x24in.

"Awakening is dedicated to cancer survivors. The hydrangeas are bitten, uneven and asymmetrical- yet they reach upward, alive and resilient. This work captures the heart of my Flowers Speak series."

'Still Beating' by Tatiana Anisimova. Oil on canvas.

A heart of blue and white hydrangeas glow against the dark background, still beating, still alive. A tiny green moth is drawn to it-almost unnoticeable, a quiet spiritual guardian. Fragile, imperfect, yet full of life.
