Lotus Garden

After much deliberation, I think ‘Lotus Garden’ is my favourite of the two prints. I love the juicy, luscious foliage that surrounds Lotus. I want to step into that overgrown tangle of exotic vegetation and feel the moist leaves close around me. It pulls me into it and makes me imagine wandering around and getting lost in that magnificent garden, and that’s why I’m drawn to it more. It almost looks like the growth is escaping the boundaries of the canvas!

This textured canvas print is available to order at my shop in a limited edition of 100 pieces. It’s sister-print ‘Lotus Black’ is available too.

Production time for print orders is 6-8 weeks. Each print is custom-made by me for every individual order. That’s why it takes that long.

My process: I apply 10-20 thin, clear layers of glossy acrylic texture and varnish onto raw, printed canvas over the course of several days. Each layer is allowed to completely dry and settle before the next layer is applied. Over time, the texture builds up into a raised surface, like a landscape. My texturing medium is UV protective, to always keep the prints vibrant and fresh.

Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy!
