Torso Volume 1

Acrylic and oil on canvas. 16x20 inches. UV filtered varnish for protection against discolouration. Prints also available.

This captivating piece of art presents an abstract interpretation of a female torso, composed entirely of floral forms that intertwine and bloom with fluid grace. The contours of the body are suggested rather than defined, with petals, stems, and leaves flowing in place of skin and muscle. The flowers—rendered in soft pinks,  yellow, greens, and violets - create a rhythmic, organic pattern that evokes both fragility and quiet strength. The abstraction allows the viewer’s eye to wander, finding curves and shapes that feel both human and botanical, blurring the lines between body and nature.

Set against a soft, neutral background—washed in warm beige, pale taupe, blush, and subtle ivory tones—the floral torso stands out as a symbol of natural beauty and quiet resilience. The minimalism of the backdrop allows the intricate textures and colors of the figure to take center stage, imbuing the piece with a serene, contemplative energy. It feels both intimate and universal, as if capturing the essence of femininity not through precise anatomy but through the language of growth, softness, and transformation.
