"Northern Orchids 2," another key piece in the "Standing Up" series, represents a more delicate aspect of the northern wilderness. Locals led us to secluded spots in the woods and wetlands where these remarkable orchids bloom—a rare sight so far north. This experience left a lasting impression, as these fragile yet resilient flowers represent the hidden wonders of northern nature.
I chose to portray the delicate beauty of these flowers through softer, more gentle hues, in contrast to the bolder colors of other works. The vertical lines in the composition evoke the trunks of trees, perhaps fallen or cut, while the orchids stand out against this backdrop. These are not literal depictions of specific orchid species but a personal interpretation of their surprising presence in an unexpected place.
Through this work, I aim to draw attention to the remarkable beauty of northern ecosystems and the impact of human activities on them. Towering pines and delicate orchids are vital parts of the same ecosystem. The simplified, almost graphic forms in the painting emphasize the vulnerability and purity of these natural treasures.
