Flowers in Hokusai Vase (2026)
iPad drawing, archival pigment print on 340gsm cotton rag cold press paper
Description
A loosely arranged bouquet fills a tall vessel, its forms hovering between drawing and color field. Flowers emerge through expressive line and layered color, while the vase—referencing historical pattern and form—anchors the composition without fixing it in place.
Process
Created as an iPad drawing, the work develops through layered marks, transparent color, and continual adjustment. Digital tools allow for fluid shifts between line and atmosphere, while the final printing on heavy cotton rag paper introduces texture and physical depth that echo traditional drawing surfaces.
Why It Lives Well
The piece balances freshness and familiarity, combining contemporary mark-making with subtle historical reference. Its layered surface and gentle movement make it engaging without being insistent—well suited for spaces where quiet complexity and color are welcome companions.
Collector note:
This work was created as an iPad drawing and produced as an archival pigment print, offering a faithful, lasting translation of the original digital artwork.
