Chrysanthemum flower. Ink on square sheet of rice paper. The elegant flowers have a rich cultural and historical background and symbolism. Chrysanthemums are part of the "four gentlemen" or the "four nobles" of the traditional Chinese ink painting, together with bamboo, plum blossoms, and orchids. Kiku-no-hana (菊の花) or "kiku" for short, were imported to Japan from China and became immensely popular. In Japan, chrysanthemums are a Buddhist flower and a symbol of the imperial family. As the legend goes, chrysanthemum flowers had powers of longevity. Japanese royal family used the image of the flower as its emblem, the current emblem is a 16-petal flower. Annual chrysanthemum festival usual includes a display of "Kiku Ningyo" - decorative dolls made from chrysanthemum flowers. The dolls represent characters from fairy tales. The full list of chrysanthemum symbolism, legends, are tales, is far too long. Naturally, theses beautiful flowers are well represented in art, painted in various styles, reprinted on fabric, used in motives of home decor, and grown in gardens. Curiously, there are even edible chrysanthemums. Perhaps, with hidden "longevity" qualities, who knows. The painting is signed and sealed, wet-mounted on backing paper and ready to be framed. Please use acid-free adhesives when framing. the painting is manually cut, please leave a few mm error margin for dimensions. Note that colours may differ due to differences in devices.

Malta
Canadian artist based in Malta. I studied oil painting in the South Studio Atelier in Malta. The Atelier follows the great traditions of the Florence Academy of Art, so do I. The transience of life pushes me to create, to capture the moments of beauty I see all around. I also studied Asian art, in China, Canada, and in Japan. Fragile rice paper gives a different feeling. It's the best canvas to express the complex simplicity of ink painting. I am using centuries-old Japanese recipe to mount my own artwork.
