La Primavera - 'Spring'

Allegories of the four seasons have been a popular theme for artists for hundreds of years. The change in seasons, a universal reminder of the passage of time and life's cyclical nature.

In this work, a profusion of intricately wired flowers, inspired by Botticelli's Primavera and Cezanne's flower gardens, surround a beautiful young woman from the pages of Vogue magazine, her beauty now preserved forever in this beautiful medium.

An allegory of the beauty and promise of the season, where every year, life starts anew.
