In this podcast, Lili Amanda discusses her creative journey, focusing on her recent work and the inspiration behind her new series titled 'Blossoming.' She explains the transition from her chiaroscuro, black and white portraits to using vibrant, natural light and incorporating the thematic element of flowers into her artwork. Drawing inspiration from a friend's illustrated image and her love for flowers, Lili Amanda endeavours to merge the abstract and mysterious elements of illustration with the realism of photography to create something new. She explores the use of watercolour to create flower paintings, which she then combines with her self-portraits in Photoshop, creating a series of images that evoke joy, romance, and the essence of spring. The series, set to launch on 18th April 2024, aims to share these emotions with others. Lili Amanda also touches upon her approach to art, the importance of creative growth without external validation, and how sharing artwork can build connections and foster engagement.
