My interest and love for drawing flowers during my high school years earned me the nickname “flower boy”. Even though it was used in a jokingly manner, I’ve been proudly wearing it ever since. Many years later my interest resurfaced and drawings with detailed floral patterns became a mandatory gift to family members, close friends and my girlfriend. As a result the floral pattern flourished into a personal symbol of love, admiration and friendship.

Blomstereng is a collection of prints with various 'flower fields' using the same detailed floral pattern as a motive. While the drawings I gifted were highly improvised and hence random in terms of how the flowers appeared, the floral pattern of Blomstereng consist of 70 distinct hand drawn flowers shown in two different blooming stages. Each flower draw both its name and characteristics from a friend or a family member, further emphasising friendship as the core theme of the pattern itself and Blomstereng in general.
