Kyara van Meel creates dreamlike worlds by painting expansive landscapes within the intimate forms of flowers, exploring the connection between macro and micro botanical realities. Drawn from her mother’s photographs of the last garden flowers of the season, the blossoms transform into fractals built from structured, square brushstrokes. In these latest works, Kyara shifts toward a soft palette of pinks and purples, positioning softness itself as a powerful statement.
In this site-specific installation, the paintings actively dictate how the space unfolds, driving the growth of monumental charcoal wall drawings. Alongside these, laser-cut woodcuts feature a deliberately naive flower shape—a universal symbol referencing girlhood—that functions as a window where the painted world continues. Ultimately, the installation blurs the boundary between reality and the canvas, inviting the audience to physically navigate an environment where the paintings never stop growing.
