Artwork Description:

'Sublime' taps into the power of orchids as objects of such beauty so as to inspire awe, while subliminally tapping into the human spirit as being a reflection of, and driven by our libido (sexual energy). Through the use of flowing lines and sensual yet strong color combinations, the formal elements in the work reflect the underlying sexual connotations explicit in the flowers form and structure. Being delicate and exotic, the work emphasizes refinement while subtly playing on notions of lust, beauty and desire. While simultaneously there is also sexual sublimation taking place, where the human libido or sexual energy is transformed into creative energy, known psychoanalytically as 'sexual transmutation'.
