The Language of Flowers 1, 2022

I designed this work for postal stamp. It was published 18.1. 2023 by Posti. There are my favorite flowers like Ranunculus, Fritillaria meleagris, Tulips, Poppy, Forget-Me-Nots. In front of the arrangement you can find a tulip that has very special flame-like stripes on petals, a broken tulip. This means it has a virus. This virus has an important meaning. It caused world’s first economic bubble. Tulip bulb prices reached extraordinarily high levels in 17th century and this time was called Tulip mania.

As Anna Pavord writes in The Tulip, the flower was "the ultimate status symbol, the definitive emblem of how much you were worth."

The Paper

Hahnemühle Hemp uses one of the oldest and most diverse natural fibres in the world and is made of 60% hemp fibre. The FineArt inkjet paper’s base impresses with its bright white natural tone, and thanks to the bright white colour of the hemp fibres, no optical brighteners are required. The lightly textured surface gives the paper a pleasant, silky feel. Paper is matt.
