From Brueghel to Bommel is an art exhibition with a story behind it. For my contribution to this exhibition, the work Delft Blue, I was inspired by a flower still life from the fluwelen (Velvet) Brueghel, Jan Brueghel the Elder, the son of Pieter Brueghel the Elder.
Delft Blue
is part of Project Preserved, a series of recreations of flower still lifes from different style periods in art. The material consists of found artificial flowers and props from the thrift store.
“My floral arrangements are only for a few moments and then they are gone again - which is interesting in and of itself. Our time is limited - it's the only luxury that we can't buy. It's a theme that other artists are working with as well at the moment. I guess I've given it my own twist. ”From Interview Interiorator.
