Effloresence Centaurea cyanus

Hand-printed linocut on handmade Lokta paper

Dimensions: 15 x 20 inch (40 x 50 cm)

I admire Cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus) not only for their vibrant blue petals. It has gentle medicinal properties. Traditionally, it has been used to soothe eye irritations, support digestion, and provide mild anti-inflammatory benefits. Next to it’s healing uses, cornflowers are playing an important ecological role: its nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable plant for supporting biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.

Each print is designed, carved, and hand-printed by me in my small workshop in the Laurentians. Because of it’s handmade nature, slight variations in color and print may occur. These small differences are exactly what make hand-printed works so special and beautiful.

I print on handmade Lokta paper, and each sheet has its own unique character. This makes every piece truly one of a kind.

Frame and accessories are not included.
