The Language of Flowers 2, 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, Iris, Helleborus, Primula. I love how Ranunculus turns super fluffy when it gets old. I call these old flowers as my dear retired flowers. They are 2-4 weeks old. They do astonish me every time.

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.
