Flure: Nature's Serenity in Metallic Harmony

Sweeping upwards towards the sky, yet grounded in the earth. Anchored by the heavy solid steel base, “Flure” captures the delicate dance of flower petals moving in a gentle breeze, gracefully curved in a design inspired by the lotus and tulip petals. Bathed in a rich palette of candy-coated powder colours, the sculptures glow with an inner warmth that transforms any space, indoors or outdoors.

Each unique sculpture tells a story of blossoming life and nature's persistence and the strength to grow, reaching upwards to embrace the light. Composed of fifteen petals, uniquely formed and arranged, the sculpture radiates an organic spontaneity that seems to grow and evolve before your eyes. As the light changes, so too does the sculpture, reflecting an array of colours as diverse as a meadow in spring.

Crafted meticulously by hand, the sculptures stand as a testament to the power of precision. Each petal is lovingly attached to a slender stem of hand-formed steel, creating a tension between the robust, grounded metal base and the seeming fragility of the petals. This harmonious juxtaposition echoes the resilience of nature and its delicate beauty.

Drawing upon themes from the "Vivace" and "Vivace-en-Verre" series, the "Flure" series pays homage to the natural world, abstracting its motifs to create a visual language of peace and tranquility. The calming presence of the sculpture offers a soothing respite from the chaos of daily life, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the serene dance of petals in the wind.
