Solfatara + Mimosa

This work layers vintage botanical illustration with bold geometric pattern, creating a striking tension between the organic and the decorative. Grayscale engravings of hyacinths are brought to life through washes of vivid color — coral red, deep magenta, and acid green — while a retro tile motif pulses behind them in yellow and taupe. The result is a collision of eras and aesthetics: the meticulous naturalism of 19th-century plant illustration meeting the graphic confidence of mid-century design. Framed in hot pink, the piece feels both archival and urgently contemporary.
