NICK KNIGHT FLORA

Valentine's Day wouldn't be Valentine's Day without some flowers! So here ya go, straight from artist and photographer Nick Knight. He spent a decade creating these masterpieces that are part of his series entitled Flora. Each piece was started as a still life photograph inspired by the 16th century. The end results, vibrant painting-like pieces that look as though they are melting. He creates these unique hybrids by carefully exposing the prints to heat and water during the printing process. Pretty surreal and incredible huh? I'll take one of these please.
