Passiflora lilla - Maria Emanuela Fiori

Passion flowers open across a pale green ground: one large bloom low in the centre with lilac and peach petals and a crown of crimson and white filaments, another at the upper right, and buds and palmate leaves filling the rest. Every stem, vein and tendril is drawn in yellow-green with a finer darker line over it.

Gouache on paper, laid on in flat washes with the outlines drawn in over the colour. Maria Emanuela Fiori is an Italian illustrator, born and living in Sardinia, who works in dense gouache and takes her forms from nature. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
