About the artwork
This Drawing was inspired by the following poem: Water lilies The Water Lilies, white and yellow flowers, How beautiful they are upon the lake! I've stood and looked upon the place for hours, And thought how fine a garden they would make. The pleasant leaves upon the water float; The dragon-fly would come and stay for hours, And when the water pushed the pleasure boat, Would find a safer place among the flowers: They lay like Pleasure in a quiet place, Close where the moor-hen loved her nest to make,— They lay like beauty with a smiling face, And I have called them ‘Ladies of the Lake!’ I've brought the longest pole and stood for hours, And tried for years, before I got those flowers! (by John Clare) I used the negative coloring to achieve an intense contrast and emphasize the shapes and structures of the plant. The drawing has a calming, soft and strong effect at the same time.When the Water lilies bloom... - Plant Illustration

As an artist I've made it my mission to present mother nature from her most beautiful site. In my first life as biologist I had the great privilege of spending my time with observing, studying and investigating the inner beauty of nature. My recent life and daily work as artist and scientific illustrator remains very close to nature and often starts with a combination of walking the dog and searching for sources of inspriation before the practical part begins. My art is mostly inspired by the forms... (see more)
