Australian Canna Lily

Project type

Painting, Acrylic on Canvas, 24"Wx 48"Hx 2"D

Artist Statement – Canna Lily from Australia

This painting captures the striking architecture and vibrant energy of the Australian canna lily. I was drawn to the interplay of its bold, structured leaves and the almost unruly nature of its petals—folding, twisting, and defying a clear center. The flower’s dynamic form speaks to the complexity of creation, where beauty is found not in rigid symmetry, but in fluidity and mystery. The canna lily’s exuberant color and movement reflect a sense of life unfolding, an organic expression of vitality and divine artistry. Through this work, I explore the tension between structure and spontaneity, order and the wildness of nature, inviting the viewer to see both the seen and the unseen within its intricate form.
