About the Item
"A World in a Flower" is a Buddhist saying, similar meaning like what William Blake's poem says, to see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.
Clementine believes in the power of colour and the power of healing through art. Her works are often considered therapeutic, offering a quiet corner for meditation where viewers can admire the beauty of nature while reflecting on their own inner world. Clementine often portrays the solitude of human existence through tiny figures with their shadows as their only companion in vast landscapes. Her oil paintings carry a silent passion that speaks louder than words. With their fairytale-like quality, her works create a dreamy, mysterious ambience accompanied by a sense of universal melancholia. Her works are collected by private collectors and institutions in Hong Kong, the U.S. and Italy.
