Furthermore, the image of a lone flower against an enigmatic dark background is truly mesmerizing. Davison chooses to draw each vibrant bloom on a dark canvas to further highlight the fascinating colors of the petals. Layer by layer, he arranges each petal to produce flowers that appear to protrude from the canvas when viewed from the side.

Although his three-dimensional blooms began as an exploration of color theory, Davison’s thought process and work has evolved into a study of symmetry, saturation and contrast. He uses precise gradients to represent each petal. He creates each petal with a single palette knife and builds them up in layers on a canvas. And the three-dimensional feature of the pieces makes each petal appear to pop off of the canvas. Joshua Davison uses a combination of oil and acrylic paints to produce beautiful flowers.

A 23-year-old artist from New Zealand is giving this conventional art subject a modern twist by creating 3D flowers paintings.

The diverse colors, form and shapes offer infinite possibilities for artists. Flowers have long been a favorite subject for many painters including Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Georgia O’Keefe and more.
