Inner Bloom

This vibrant alcohol ink painting, enriched with gold leaf, offers an abstract yet emotionally resonant depiction of an iris flower. Radiant greens, electric limes, and bold magentas flow organically across the painting, their sinuous shapes unfolding like petals in bloom. At its centre, rich burgundy and soft blush tones converge in forms that evoke both the heart of a flower and, for some, the delicate contours of the female reproductive organs.
 
This duality — botanical and anatomical — invites contemplation on themes of growth, sensuality, creation, and the power of the feminine. The gold leaf, textured and glowing, adds both warmth and reverence, casting the entire piece in a radiant, timeless light.
 
It is a bold celebration of natural form — visceral, delicate, and alive.
