Gilded Botanica Art Series

Project type

Abstract Painting

Date

2025 - On Going

Location

Calgary, Alberta, CANADA

Gilded Botanica is a living art series that exists at the intersection of nature, luxury, and abstraction. Each piece marries the eternal brilliance of 24K gold with rich textures, bold artistic expression, and living plants — creating a dialogue between permanence and impermanence, the organic and the refined.

This series invites viewers to reconsider the boundaries between sculpture and life. The gold, often seen as a symbol of wealth and eternity, contrasts yet harmonizes with the plants’ ephemeral, evolving nature. As each piece grows and shifts over time, it becomes a meditation on transformation, resilience, and the deep beauty found in imperfection and change.

With abstract elements woven throughout, Gilded Botanica doesn’t aim to mimic nature, but rather to co-create with it. These artworks are not static. They breathe, grow, and live — forming a tactile experience that is both sensorial and symbolic.

Each work is a living testament to balance: luxury and life, structure and spontaneity, art and environment.
