About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue Ruimtedecoratie
Dit werk is geïnspireerd door het liefdesverhaal achter het portret "Marthe de Florian", een werk van Giovanni Bellini. Het rooskleurige arrangement stelt haar voor als actrice die in Parijs leefde tijdens het glamoureuze vooroorlogse tijdperk. De roos staat voor liefde. De blauwe daarentegen vertegenwoordigt de kracht van een vrouw die door de maalstroom van de oorlog dwaalt, maar nooit wanhoopt en om de dageraad bidt. De twee grote gebogen bloemen symboliseren het te bewandelen pad, en de gedroogde blauwe plant wordt de "reizigersboom" genoemd en symboliseert de veranderende tijden.

- The inspiration for this art work, consisting of two pieces, comes from the story behind the painting, "Portrait of Marthe de Florian" by Italian painter Giovanni Boldini. The painting had been sleeping for 70 years until it was discovered at Florian's apartment in Paris. This work is an homage to the beautiful memories of Giovanni and his lover Florian. "La Memoire De La Rose " (left) depicts the story of her elegant life in Paris. "La Voyage Bleu" (right) is the image of her life after the war. She lived with dignity.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2016 in Tokyo and was exhibited in Flower Art Award In Tokyo Midtown in April 2017
- Operation Flow
- Display Tips: 1.Overall coloration may fade overtime, therefore avoidance of the direct sun light is advisable.
2. You can arrange them side by side as shown in the photo. Depending on the space available, you may place them apart from each other. It might be interesting to display it with each facing away from the other, back to back in a place like a museum where the audience flow can be dictated. Such flow must allow viewing "La Memoire De La Rose" first , followed by "La Voyage de Bleu". - Image Credits
