Hi! My name's Naïma and I am a French, Floral artist from Normandy.
In the fast pace of modern life, where everything feels loud and busy, flowers offer a simple remedy, inviting us to slow down and enjoy the beauty around us.
In this article, I’m sharing my passion for flowers and why I love painting them, inviting you into a dreamy world inspired by the vibrant flowers and romantic charm of France.
Flowers, with their captivating allure and enchanting fragrances, have a magical ability to captivate our senses and inspire a sense of joy and tranquility. Painting them brings me a sense of freedom and makes me feel at peace. I especially love painting French Roses, wildflower fields and Sunflowers that reminds me of the beautiful roads in south of France.
Since I was a child, I was always naturally attracted to flowers... whenever I see flower fields, daisies, sunflowers, wild flowers... I felt an immense joy fill my heart.
When I first started to paint, flowers and animals were my first favorite subject. I want to bring in people's home that magical energy of flowers.
When we encounter any flower, whether in a bustling city square or a serene countryside garden, there is an instinctive urge to pause and admire their delicate petals and vibrant colors.
In that moment of connection, time seems to stand still as we are drawn into the enchanting world of nature's creations.
The presence of flowers serves as a gentle reminder to embrace the art of slow living...a way of living that encourages us to savor the present moment, cultivate mindfulness, and find joy in life's simple pleasures.
My art is a reflection of that spirit, peaceful energy. When looking at my paintings I feel the same emotions as when I see flowers. We make one.
I feel inner peace, I feel like taking a moment for myself and breathe. It is almost like a moment of meditation.
I believe the simple act of stopping to admire a flower is a revolutionary act of self-love.
Surrounding yourself with Art and Flowers can be a simple yet powerful practice of self-care.
Whether it's arranging a bouquet for our home, tending to a garden, or simply taking a leisurely stroll through a botanical garden, the presence of flowers reminds us to slow down, breathe deeply, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.
