BEHIND THE SCENES: “LAST FLOWER STANDING” PRINT
August 6th 2023
The Lupine flower is widely spread all over Iceland. It propagates rapidly and fertilizes the soil, gradually transforming rocky areas of Iceland into fields suitable for growing vegetables or planting trees.
But the reason why we chose this flower is not only because of its striking appearance but also because it withstands almost any type of weather conditions, symbolizing Iceland’s extreme climate. From stormy rainfall to clear blue skies and bright sunshine, Iceland’s weather constantly changes throughout the day. Infused with the necessary artistic touch, Berlin-based artist Jonathan Niclaus developed the idea further through abstract watercolor sketches with softly blending colors. Printed on lightweight silk, the Lupines come to life as the flowing fabric gently moves with its wearer.
