It’s Antoinette Ferwerda and I’d like to share with you my Iris art story, which is inspired by the Iris flower.
I’ve always been intrigued by the shape of the Iris, and after a dream I had one morning, I went into the studio and painted the very first Iris and these are continuing to evolve.
This art story is moody and the deep blue and rich purple and almost black shades of the Iris petals are an evolution of my *former* Botanical art stories.
The latest art story born in Antoinette’s studio, Iris is a darker evolution of her previous floral motifs. These new works plunge viewers into the inky depths of nature and draw out a taste of the extra-terrestrial that’s present right here on Earth.
Struck with inspiration in early February, Antoinette returned to her studio with the image of a moody, uniquely shaped flower in her mind, working feverishly to capture it on a canvas. Bruised shades of blue, purple and black, collaged layers and spilled ink slowly took shape into the dark, organic form of an iris.
