Sexy bois with big…botanicals!

A series of miniatures featuring the sensual muscularity of male figures transformed from dominance to delight with graceful floral imagery.

These small paintings combine abstract floral elements with male figures—active, passive, sensual, erotic, pornographic. Occasional hints of surrealism decorate a few of them. They aim to re-contextualize, to transform. These little gems set out to sparkle, not broadcast. They’re diminutive of size but their vivid colors and evocative imagery attract attention.

This in an on-going series. There will be comings and goings. I have an endless supply of flower and bois I want to paint. Subscribe to stay in the know or drop me a line with questions, suggestions, and most importantly, your favorite color!
