Bittersweet Heart
Pressed flower art inspired by the bittersweet love of Gothic tales!
The 'Bittersweet Heart' is an evocative piece that captures the feeling of bittersweet love through the delicate medium of pressed flower petals. These have all been collected from my garden here in The Netherlands.
Within the heart shape, the artwork tells the poignant story through its colours and form. Starting with bright yellow and orange petals, it evokes feelings of light happiness and joy. As the love deepens and becomes tinged with bittersweetness, the colours transition to rich, deep reds, culminating in almost black hues.
