Flower Series (2025-2026)

Flower Series is a painting series that explores interior space from both exterior and interior viewpoints. Influenced by Cubism, the works present multiple perspectives, breaking away from the traditional single-point perspective on a flat canvas. Flowers are used as the central subject, functioning similarly to the apple in Paul Cézanne’s still-life paintings—serving as a structural device through which space, form, and perception are examined.

The series also explores the relationship between nature’s basic geometric forms and modern architecture, which emphasizes functionality, minimalism, and clean lines while rejecting excessive decoration. These architectural principles shape interior spaces and directly influence how people live and experience their surroundings.

Although flowers are natural elements, placing them within an interior space goes against their natural environment. This creates an unavoidable contrast between what occurs naturally and what is constructed by humans, allowing both to exist simultaneously within the same space.

Nature is defined by time, change, and imperfection. In contrast, architecture and human-made structures represent intention, control, and rational thinking. When these two meet, tension arises from differences in form, material, and ideas. At the same time, a quiet harmony emerges through adaptation, interaction, and peaceful coexistence.

The Flower Series therefore presents both harmony and contrast in color and form between nature and human-made structures. It suggests that nature and humanity are not separate from one another, but are continuously negotiating and creating new balances over time.
