“I Must Have Flowers, Always, and Always.” — Claude Monet
There are quote that speaks to your soul so deeply and this quote by Claude Monet has always resonated deeply.
I have been fortunate to visit most of Monet’s museums and gardens, both in France and abroad and the first time was when I was 11 years old. I immediately fell in love with his art... And since then, each visit felt like going back home, stepping into a ethereal, flower dream, every reflection in water, every brushstroke carried poetry itself.
In 2020, I returned to Monet’s garden in Giverny, and it awakened that child dream I had of becoming a full time artist. That visit ignited a new wave of inspiration in me, leading to the creation of a series of paintings celebrating the freedom, softness, and poetry of nature: my Monet’s Garden Collection.

Visiting Monet’s gardens taught me that nature is never static, it grows, blooms, and shifts in endless rhythms. In my Monet’s Garden Collection, I aim to capture this dynamic beauty.

The 2020 visit to Giverny was particularly transformative. Walking among the wild, overflowing flowers and the shimmering water gardens, I felt an awakening in my heart. I wanted my paintings to celebrate the freedom, softness, and sacred feminine energy I felt there.
