Description

*Secret Life Of Flowers 1* depicts a flower that Mari Prete presents as a tiny, living creature. The delicate white petals open like a fine fabric unfurling in the light, whilst the green centre, with its elegantly curved stigma, performs an almost dance-like gesture. The stark darkness surrounding the flower makes it stand out. Nothing distracts the viewer; everything focuses on the form, texture and movement inherent in this plant. Mari Prete presents the flower not as a botanical object, but as a character: vulnerable, graceful, full of vitality. *Secret Life Of Flowers 1* is a work about the hidden vitality of nature. It invites us to perceive the subtle gestures of a flower — those moments that are often overlooked in everyday life, yet hold a special beauty in their stillness. Further works by the artist can be found here: www.mariprete-fineart.com Effect: delicate, poetic, intimate, organic Nature photography with emotional depth and subtle lighting Edition: Secret Life Of Flowers 1 is published as an edition. Each work is issued individually, allowing for a clear, collector-friendly presentation within the series.

Mari Prete, Secret Life Of Flowers 1

Mari Prete

Armenia

Presentation

Born and raised in Armenia, she completed her studies in theatre and film studies at Yerevan State University. Today she lives and works in Europe. 

In her work, the artist develops a bouquet of photographic approaches and works, among other things, on series of street photography, food and flower portraits. She uses the diverse possibilities of this genre and expresses her intuitively personal and observant view through the camera. 

With her images, she tries to show our world and our life as they really are. Facets of life that seem hidden in the everyday are often barely noticed with the naked eye but become visible and thus experienceable through her photography. 

They are simple, clear yet so profound, touching and lively motifs that show the viewer the many different aspects of life: joy of living, love, self-esteem, confidence, beauty and much more.
