Description
“You can judge this book by its cover.
It was painted to reveal the book’s essence.
Florilegium is made up of two Latin words,
flower (flos) and the verb “to gather” (legere),
and this book is true to the word’s literal meaning
It is Hollington’s unique bouquet.”
Hollington’s Florilegium, originally published in Italy, is a captivating collection that combines botanical illustrations with the artist’s motivations, incorporating landscapes and animals. Each painting within the Florilegium strikes a delicate balance between the plants’ natural appearance and the artist’s unique artistic interpretation. The result is a visually stunning botanical alphabet showcasing nature’s beauty.
At Airavata Gallery, you can view A, F, G, K, and Q. These particular artworks highlight Hollington’s intricate details and attention to detail in each piece within the botanical garden.
David Hollington is a painter, gardener, and conservationist who lives and works in London. He studied at Harrow School of Art and at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
