“I feel my art has a sense of nostalgia,” says Mirtalipova, “it’s folkloric and musical. When I paint my stories, I like them to communicate positive energy, to be bright and colorful, to bring joy and to spread joy.” Though she works from her home studio in snowy Sagamore Hills, Uzbek and Russian folklore serve a constant source of inspiration.

Surprisingly, Mirtalipova studied first Computer Science, before following her passion and transitioning into a career in the arts. Completely self-taught in illustration and design, her creative process includes carving lino blocks and painting with gouache and acrylics.

“Only after I grew up and graduated from the field of computer science, I realized I couldn’t stop painting,” she explains. “To my surprise, I began receiving commissions to draw and design for people and companies. And after my client list grew I decided it was time to concentrate on art professionally.”

“My work emerged from a desire to produce art as bright and as vibrant as I wanted,” explained Phoenix in an interview with Papirmass. “I love my day job, but sometimes I’m told to change my colors so they ‘don’t vibrate so much.’ I WANT my art to vibrate!”

Funnily enough, her choice to illustrate mainly, if not exclusively, flowers is a practical one. “I choose to paint flowers simply because they are an excellent vehicle for exploring color,” she says. According to Phoenix, most of the flowers and leaves are imagined and as such, provide a vehicle for her vibrant color stories.

“I’m curious about color,” she admits, “which makes me want to explore it and ‘get creative’ with it. Everyone has something they’re curious about, so I think everyone has that innate potential to explore that curiosity and in turn, be creative.”

He was fascinated with them since the beginning. The first thing he does when he gets released into the garden is checking on his butterflies. Then he lays down right by where they are and lets them land on his nose.

But not just that, he is a doggo model who likes posing for his mom. Besides letting his buddies play with him, Milo also loves sticking his nose in flowers. He is so special, and one thing is for sure: he does not have allergies to pollen.

Recently he has been on a trip to see his mom and brother. But as soon as he got home, the first thing he did was to say “hello” to his big buddy, the monarch butterfly.

Nicknamed as “Butterfly King“ on social media, the canine also shares yummy but healthy dog snack recipes on his accounts.

Check out the gallery below to see Milo’s adorable photos. Which one is your favorite?

A common thread throughout her work is an emphasis on nature, with a specific interest in plants and flowers. “We at Olislagers have a passion for art and are inspired by nature,” reads her studio’s website. “Plants bring a room to life in a way that nothing else can. But let’s be honest, these living creatures need space, light, water and lots of love. With this new collection, we offer everyone the possibility to create an urban jungle however big or small.”

Olislagers’ love of plants is quite literal, as both her artwork and her work environment is steeped in greenery. Based in Maastricht, the Netherlands, the great outdoors also provides Olislagers a natural source of inspiration. And more specifically, the changing of seasons.

“With the coming and going of seasons, there is always something to discover,” she writes. “Whether it’s small like a flower in bloom or big as the ever-changing lights and colors in the sky, all you have to do is take a step back, really look around you and find that there is beauty everywhere.”

“The freshly pressed blog is my way of connecting with others and hopefully inspiring them to further explore the melding of art and nature,” she informs on her website. Having pursued degrees in biology, fine arts, and environmental studies, Buck believes that designers and scientists can both benefit from exploring across fields.

“My blog brings various projects and musings to press to motivate both professions (as well as those of us who fall in the middle) to approach their work with a fresh perspective and renewed sense of wonder,” she notes.

Her website also includes a short guide on how to collect and press flowers, so you too can follow her footsteps. Either that or you can admire her collection from afar via Instagram.

Based in Leicester, Hall is known for her natural themed illustrations, with a special interest in flowers. Describing her work as delicate, quirky, and humorous, her work will add some lightness to your feed. There are also a lot of patterns.

Incorporating loose line work with loose watercolor illustrations, Hall’s work can be found on anything from cards and prints to ceramics. “I enjoy having a handmade element into my work,” she shared with Jung Katz, “for example incorporating stitch into digital prints and binding my notebooks using my sewing machine, it makes it a little bit more me.”

And although her work zooms in on the natural world, she’s also interested in the meeting place between nature and people. “I am a keen observer so people watching is how I get most of my inspiration,” says Hall. “People surprise me everyday so a lot of the time peoples’ actions, conversations and their dress sense also inspire me. I also take inspiration from nature, the seaside and fashion.”

“I like to think I create work that people can relate to,” she concludes.

“When I was planning my own wedding, I met with numerous fresh florists, but quickly learned my floral-vision was quite expensive,” she explained on her website. “My mom suggested that we explore faux blooms as an alternative so that I wouldn’t have to compromise my dream look.”

“I’ll admit I was very hesitant to this idea, writes Kinney, candidly. “But I am so glad she did make that suggestion, because I instantly fell in love with the possibilities of the incredible selection out there!” According to Kinney, family and friends at her wedding had no idea “poser-blooms” were surrounding them all the while. This stuck with her, long after the wedding was over.

Jump forward some years later, and she now specializes in designing handcrafted faux floral arrangements. Using high-quality, beautiful artificial flowers, the result is far cry from what we’ve come to recognize as fake flowers. Her fake flowers are also lighter in weight and don’t easily stain fabrics in comparison to fresh flowers, with the added bonus that they are allergy-friendly.

But the ultimate bonus is that ordering a faux bouquet means there’s little to no hassle on the day of the wedding. “Our poser blooms allow you a stress-free completion date,” reads her website, “with no unexpected surprises on your wedding day morning, since these pretties can be made well ahead of event time and easily stored in boxes.” The flowers can also be packed in suitcases, easily carried from place to place, a handy solution since many destination locations do not have a wide variety of flowers.

But even without these added bonuses, they’re undeniably pretty. See for yourself.

Marianne is a Copenhagen-based artist. She studied fashion design at The School of Design at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in 1995. Since then, she’s been working with some of the leading magazines and fashion houses in the world and has slowly gravitated away from fashion and towards are.

Marianne describes herself as a slow art advocate, which means her works cane take hours and hours, though she doesn’t keep count. Her bouquets are all made by hand, each petal-shaped and put into place, with no patterns or templates to guide her. She doesn’t plan anything, not even what sort of paper to use, she uses what’s available to her, and tries to focus on the creative process rather than on the design and planning aspects of her work.

Marriane draws inspiration from her childhood in the Danish countryside. Many of her installations refer to Danish folk art, which is in its own turn inspired by nature. These floral installations have been Marriane’s focus for the past five years, and she doesn’t mean to stop anytime soon. She shares her work in her Instagram account, where we can also enjoy her weird, beautiful creations.

Her materials include flowers she collects and dries herself and more exotic specimens that are dried in advance. Those are threaded on tulle, arranged in pretty patterns and shapes. “A lot of my ideas come from going for walks in the countryside near where I live, or things I grow in the garden,” Prinku shared in an interview with The Italian Rêve, describing her creative process.

“I love working with the seasons,” she adds, “so whatever is in season is my favorite at that moment!” She admits she’s mostly drawn to pastel shades, though other colors are also peeking through.

“Some flowers are better than others for particular purposes,” explains Prinku. “For example, for floral embroidery hoops you want flowers with thin stalks and without particularly big heads. I’ve recently discovered you can dry small poppies and they seem to work well. Whereas for wreaths I like to use things like eucalyptus and olive, and I’ve started trying hydrangeas and peonies.”

The artist started using clay to create his own toys when he was only 4-years-old. He created his first flower for his mother when he was 10.

“I created everything from animals, airplanes, soldiers, sports figures. I really would make anything I could imagine. I made my first flower at age 10 and it was a red and white Rose for my mother. I knew then that I would always be able to go back to making ceramic flowers to make money but didn’t do so until I was 26 years old,” the artist told Bored Panda.

Today Mann has more than 1000 of these blooming flowers in his collection and each one is unique in its own way. You can take a look at the artist’s botanical collection on his Instagram account and buy some of his creations on Etsy.
