Triffid is a bold contemporary, botanical painting inspired by the dramatic shapes found in nature. Strong organic forms emerge from layers of colour and texture, creating a strong presence. The warm coral and melon tones are softened by the turquiose accents in a playful way. The turquoise accents provide a freshness and vibrancy. For me, Triffid captures the joy of creating something bold, expressive and uplifting. The painting is full of movement, colour and detail. Large organic forms overlap and interact, creating a sense of growth and energy while inviting the viewer to pause and explore the smaller patterns hidden throughout the work.

What I love about this piece

This painting began as an exploration of the fascinating shapes and structures found in nature. I wanted it to be sculptural. It represents seed pods and other botanical forms from my summer garden and I wanted to exagerate their scale, allowing them to dominate the canvas and to take on a personality of their own. I live in a sub tropical area and my garden can sometimes feel wild and out of control due to the fast growth here. Being in the garden often inspires me to start a painting and Triffid is a great example of just that.
