Welcome to the universe of Floratypes. If you look closely, you will see this isn’t an ordinary flower…
Floratypes are made using real flowers
Every floratype is meticulously made from existing petals and parts of different flowers. I pull apart the petals, the heart, the pistils and the stamens from the stem. All the individual bits are then assembled and glued together to create a new species: Floratypes. I only use real flowers to create my floratypes and even leave the perfect imperfections on the petals when editing the picture to stay true to nature. The floratypes are captured in full bloom: the moment of creation for them to live on forever printed on Museum quality paper and framed.

The story behind the floratypes
Let me take you along on my journey of creating these Floratypes out of existing flowers, an ongoing project I started in 2017 that is slowly growing alongside me.
The creation of floratypes invites in this childlike excitement I get when thinking of the possibility of discovering a new colour. We are all acquainted with the entire colour spectrum, now imagine discovering a new colour that didn’t exist before. Not blue, not pink, not purple, orange, red or brown. But a colour that simply wasn’t there before! Aaah, the amount of wonder and excitement I feel when thinking of that possibility. It feels a bit like discovering the undiscovered.
The exquisite beauty of flowers never ceases to amaze me. It is a soft world, a beautiful world, a strong world, a mystical, magical and mysterious world. There is so much wisdom to extract. I adore flowers and feel so much joy being able to play with them and create even more art with these beauties.
My hope is they will bring you joy and adorn your home. Inviting you to take the time to look at the world with wonder.
