As an artist there is no greater joy than knowing that my work has found a new home—somewhere it will be admired, appreciated and loved every single day. ⠀

I recently received these beautiful messages from collectors: “I already love your painting and am so looking forward to hanging it in my home. Not only is it beautiful but it is very meaningful. I will cherish it.”

“It’s GORGEOUS and we are both so happy with it! Your sweet letter makes it even more special. I know that I have said it before but this is something that I will treasure. I simply cannot thank you enough.”

⠀ Reading words like these fills my heart. Every brushstroke holds a story and to know that these stories resonate with others—it’s everything I ever hoped for. ⠀ Thank you to everyone who has welcomed my artwork into your space. You inspire me to keep creating. ⠀

There is something magic to see your artwork in exhibition. The process is quit long, you should go through a few phases of decisions, selections and approval.

 
As soon as you start thinking about exhibition you should decide what artwork will be good for it. Everything is important: place, time of the year, location. As soon as you place the picture for open call it starts a long time of waiting: will your artwork accepted. And what a joy when you see that your artwork was chosen for exhibition.

From that time you start preparing a painting and check framing, documents, day for delivery. And all this time there is a warm feeling inside you. Now you start having hope: may be anyone like your artwork and decide to purchase it; or perhaps a marketing company or art curator will decide to cooperate with you.

 
But the most amazing feeling when you see your artwork hanging in the gallery and see many people around who admire your work, discuss it, make some notes. I think it’s the most important time for me as an artist. It gives you inspiration, willing to go forward and a feeling that you are doing the right thing.

Hello everyone!

⠀Did you know that botanical painting is not just about capturing the beauty of plants but also plays a key role in science and innovation?⠀

I did my research online and happy to share with you the results.

Nature has inspired so many advancements across different industries and here’s how plant structures continue to shape modern technology and design:⠀⠀

1. Architecture – Architects take inspiration from the way tree branches spread to capture sunlight. Even sunflowers which follow the sun have inspired the design of solar panels to make them more efficient and adaptable to light.⠀

2. Engineering – The delicate structure of dandelion seeds has influenced the development of lightweight designs for wind turbines and drones. Nature shows us how to create things that are strong, yet effortlessly light.⠀

3. Medicine – For centuries botanical illustrations have helped identify healing plants. Plants like the willow tree (which led to the creation of aspirin) and the Madagascar periwinkle (used in cancer treatments) continue to influence modern medicine. The accuracy in plant art can be life-changing⠀

4. Technology – The lotus leaf and its ability to repel water has inspired self-cleaning surfaces in technology and textiles. Whether it’s water-resistant phone screens or self-cleaning fabrics nature gives us sustainable smart solutions!⠀

5. Robotics – The way plants like ivy climb and twist has inspired soft robotics that are flexible and adaptive allowing robots to navigate complex environments just like these clever plants do⠀

6. Textiles – The natural fibers of plants like flax and hemp are being used to create sustainable, biodegradable fabrics. These eco-friendly materials are shaping the future of fashion and product design offering a greener approach.⠀

After my research I was amazed how much we can learn from plants both in art and science. Each leaf, stem and seed holds a lesson—and sometimes those lessons are the foundation for future innovation!
