Sweet Essence
Painting size 24”x 24” x 1.5”
The iris, once valued by the early Indian and Egyptian people for its medicinal uses and perfume manufacturing, takes center stage in this painting. The delicate scent of iris has long been revered for its floral and woody notes, with buttery accents and hints of violet. In ancient times, iris was used as an offering to the gods, and during the Renaissance, its rhizomes were crushed, sieved, and mixed with rice powder to create a sweet violet scent.
This painting captures the iris’ rich history, inviting you to appreciate the flower’s complex beauty, both in its visual and aromatic legacy. The scent of iris can be found in perfumes such as Chanel 19, Hermès Women’s Hiris, and Dior Homme by Christian Dior.
Oil on canvas, painting continues around the edges. The signature is painted on the right side of the canvas. The piece is wired and ready to hang. Keep out of direct sunlight to preserve its vibrant hues.
