Flower views
In the Floral Portraits | Flower Views cycle, Ellen Semen combines the multifaceted world of human and animal faces with the delicate beauty of floral elements. This impressive series shows the heads of women, men and animals embedded in blooming natural backdrops. While some faces have an idyllic, gentle and lovely aura, other portraits are imbued with a deep fear and malice, marked by inner terror. These emotional contrasts create a fascinating tension, inviting the viewer to look beyond the surface and discover the multiple stories reflected in the floral arrangements and expressive eyes. Semen's works explore the complex relationship between beauty and abyss, harmony and chaos and offer a deep insight into the soul of nature.
