Diane Pernet

So HAPPY to see large scale of my Diane Pernet illustration on display at her fragrance collection launch!!!

If Diane were a flower, I think she would be Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' (Black Rose)...The sophisticated layers of the leaves create beautiful and elegant forms. The color combination of the plant is very intriguing and mysterious. Just like Diane, a perfect combination of boldness, power, darkness, beauty, mystery and elegance. 

Special thanks to Marcus Kan of Draw A Dot. for the wonderful collaboration & brilliant art direction! 

Have a Happy Weekend everyone!♥

Sunshine Girl - Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture

Today's illustration was inspired by bright sunflowers and the lovely Christian Dior spring 2013 couture collection. 
The sunflowers I planted in the backyard are blooming! Isn’t summer always better with bright sunflowers?

Wishing you a very happy summer day!

Ilustración de hoy fue inspirada por los girasoles brillantes y la hermosa colección de alta costura de Christian Dior de primavera 2013. Los girasoles que planté en mi patio están floreciendo!

Fuschia

I love flowers, many kinds of flowers.
This time I painted Fuschia. It's flower meaning is "confiding love", how lovely is that?
One humming bird is whispering the secret, will the other one hear it?

This is the painting currently showing at La Luz De Jesus Gallery.

WEDNESDAY ILLUSTRATION:ISSA SPRING 2013 RTW

Today's illustration is inspired by Issa Spring Summer RTW collection. I especially love the beautiful prints and bright color palette from this collection! Very delightful! 
" 'Goddess.' Daniella Helayel was unequivocal in her description of the woman who inspired her new collection. With Malcolm Edwards' orchid-wrapped hairstyles and Val Garland's glossy-lipped maquillage offering sterling support, Helayel's female deity could have slithered straight off one of those Roxy Music covers that defined sophisticated womanly allure in the seventies."-Style.com

I have always been intrigued by flower meanings and symbolism. After I finished the painting, I was wondering about the meaning of orchid flowers. After a brief research, I found out orchid flower represents innocence, love, luxury, delicate beauty and strength...Ah, so beautiful! 
If you have been following my blog, you know I can't get tired from painting stylish girls, enjoy drawing flowers, LOVE painting them together even more. Every flower is very unique in its own way, just like people. After I painted some floral portraits, I always associate the girls/women I meet with different kinds of flowers. 
Just think how intriguing and elegant would a girl be if she embodies the lovely qualities of orchid flowers...
