This painting was created to celebrate the birth of Alexandra, whose arrival brought a special light into her family’s world.
The open flower and the small bud beside it evoke maternal love, protection and the continuity of life. The delicate pink petals seem to shelter a fragile new beginning; the golden glow symbolises the joy of birth, while the bud represents a future yet to unfold.
Alexa (Birth) is a keepsake to treasure for years to come, with the potential to become a family heirloom. As the child grows, the painting will preserve the warmth and love with which she was welcomed into the world.
Freemotion: the artist’s signature technique. Painting with Japanese calligraphy inks without traditional brushes.
