In Zurich, spring 2019 has been characterized by heavy and longlasting raining episodes. However, despite heavy rains the old magnoliatree in the neigbhours garden developed wonderful dark red purple blossoms. I want to share with you the beauty of nature. The title metamorphosis was given because you can see several stages of lifecycle at once, the tiny small blossom, the large size colourful flower in full blossom, then the fading process outrgrowing bringing forward fruit, containing seed. I have chosen an unusal size, very large size painting, which is a challenge using pastel techniques, because of its dusty material.
