A popular subject from the ancient times, flowers have played a significant role in art history, embodying a variety of meanings thanks to their evocative qualities.
Let's look at a few representative examples!
In Christian art, white lilies are often found in the Annunciation, the moment capturing the angel Gabriel telling the Virgin Mary that she will conceive the son of God.
White lilies here symbolize fertility and purity.
In 17th-century Holland, still lifes became very popular - wilting flowers embody the ephemeral, the fleeting nature of material wealth, the unavoidable arrival of death.
In the 19th century Van Gogh's bright yellow sunflowers captured a marvelous expression of joy. Initially painted to decorate the bedroom of his friend Gauguin in Van Gogh's Arles house, they subsequently became an iconic symbol of the artist's repertoire.
In the 20th and 21st century, Warhol’s and Murakami’s flowers stood out as bold stances of pop art - flat and bright colours became key to these artists.
With the development of new technologies, the exploration of this subject naturally evolved through the intricacy of the digital world. These 4 artists beautifully captured this transformation.

“Flowers” by @rvig_art is a stunning collection exploring the ephemeral nature of flowers through a diversity of features i.e disposition, shapes, gradients and more.
Suspended in space, each flower is an interplay of lights and colors, blossoming and glowing before our eyes.
Flowers, RVig
"Chimera" by @mpkoz presents impressionist-like digital brushstrokes. They emerge vigorously as to evoke the power of nature. Subsequently their movement become gentle - the changing of seasons, the passing of time, the encounter of past and present all merge in the composition.
Chimera, Michael Kozlowski
"Fleur"@AnaPetArt celebrates the encounter between nature & science, diving into the connection between the physical world & its mathematical language. Bringing to light interplays of complexity & simplicity, each flower becomes a microcosm capturing the mystery of the macrocosm.
Fleur, AnaPet
In “Energy Sculpture” by @Beervangeer smooth and soft lines vibrate through the space. Flowers expand and contract following a silent rhythm in tune with the cosmos.
Their motion is sensual, evoking a never-ending dance through the vast realm of the unknown.
Energy Sculpture, Beervangeer
