“There is always flowers”
Every obsession begins somewhere.
Before the cowboy was repainted and before the nude reclaimed herself, there were flowers. Not as decoration. As cover. As the first place a painter hides what he cannot yet say out loud.
These are not just still lifes. Look closer. The female form was always in there — tucked inside a tulip, suggested in the curve of a bloom, present in every petal that was never quite botanical enough to be accidental. The florals were the beginning of both arguments: that beauty is not a passive gift, that it does not wither on command, and that the most honest things a painter makes are sometimes the ones he builds a garden around to protect them.

bloom serves as the foundational prototype for the studio’s ongoing methodology. initiated in 2011, the series represents the primary application of the "rogue colorist" logic, recontextualizing traditional dutch still life through a vivid, expressive layering of oil pastel over acrylic. the work functions as the structural baseline for all subsequent figurative investigations.
