A beautifully painted tribute to nature’s most beautiful creation, the flower

Faye Tassviri, a floral illustrator, has gathered samples worldwide to produce this colourful treasury of floral magnificence. Petals are divided into flower families, with close-ups, cross-sections, buds, and leaf images highlighting the blooms’ particular traits, hues, and artistic beauty. Faye relies on her lifetime love of flowers and plants to explain the customs, folklore, fame, fragrance, and symbolism of our favourite blooms, as well as some lesser-known curiosities. This is a beautiful illustration for a new generation of flower enthusiasts. Faye Tassviri, in this ambitious composition, paid close attention to naturalistic details like dewdrops with a Blue Bird and assorted colour roses that hint at the significance of the flowers. The crisp edges and acute observation that characterize her work reveal the close link between floral painting and botanical illustration during the Scientific Revolution.

An idea that begins a themed series is usually significant to the art-maker somehow, which has affected their past or present or captured their interest. It could be social issues that resonate in disturbing ways; it could be the artist’s personal indoor or outdoor environment; it could be simply objects, scenes, shapes, and colours that express the artist’s moods.
