Each fluttering petal will become a forever memory
― Claude Monet
I first noticed Elena’s beautiful floral photographs a year ago and I was immediately struck by her lyrical style and provocative story telling. Her images are moving, spirited with a sense of clarity and calm. As a florist and photographer, I admire Elena’s ability to capture the essence and purity of flowers in a calming and clear manner. The quality and the care Elena puts into presenting and packaging her images are exceptional. It truly is a full sensory “experience” to see and feel her flowers in print.
The soft, rich shadows, inviting contrast, and alluring palettes of her imagery harken back to classics like Vermeer, but are rooted in a visual celebration of the true and pure beauty of nature. Every nuanced detail captures your eye and draws you deeper into the story, transporting you to an ethereal and tranquil world of color and light.
The very act of unwrapping is a gift in itself, with thoughtfulness presenting itself in each meticulous detail. The paper alone is breathtaking and calls out for celebration. And then, the photos. I am swept away into the feeling within these flowers, each petal and bud and stem a mirror somehow into myself - all that is bright and alive, and the tenderness of shadows and vulnerability of disarray is there too. I have followed Elena’s work for seven years, and this year, I will finally fill my home with her inspired collection and give thanks for visionaries like her that see and spread the beauty intrinsic to our shared world.
Elena Dragoi photography, breaks down all of these barriers. Through her lens she brings you into the realm of flowers. You get to know each part of them intimately. Lilacs turn into extraordinary fairy wings, you can visually see the fine silk weavings of rose petals. She entices all of the senses all through a photograph. She is a master at her craft and it is such an honor to have her work as an heirloom piece in the home. Explore her art and get lost in the adventure of it all!
The delicate florals that she chooses to capture are beyond gorgeous to start with. But the attention to detail is what truly transforms them from beautiful blooms to collectible works of art. It’s very hard to explain the feeling her art invokes. The unbelievable depth of each carefully imagined setting pulls you in and each texture and stroke of light paints the canvas with a rainbow of feelings, creating a beautiful sense of wonder and hope in your home and heart. Elena’s work goes much deeper than photography. It’s an experience, an invocation of emotions that has to be lived to be believed.
Inspiration is found in every tiny corner. By getting to explore a macro gaze of the botanical world, I discovered what devotion feels like. A silent surrender into romance, bliss, and a captivating form of growth. The catalyst for the 2021 collection was simply…life. The beginnings, the endings, and everything in-between. I wanted to capture the essence of humanity through a floral lens. Our fragility mimicking the lace petals of the cosmo, our endurance, and ability to grow in impossible places so much like roses. The extraordinary beauty that exists in all of our seasons. The simple along with the complexity, Floriography 2021 is an ode to loving and living with every breath we are granted.
In my Floriography 2021 Fine Art Photography Collection I allowed myself to collapse into the language of flowers. Through a macro lens I was transported into a botanical world that left me exploring emotions I didn’t even know existed.
Everything here is meant to be an artistic experience. From the packaging to consultations for framing, I yearn for these pieces to be heirlooms that stay in your home for decades to come. From the moment your parcel arrives I want it to be a journey of the senses. Thank you for choosing my art to adorn your space.
Sight. How often do we take this sense for granted? For those of us born with eyes that can see the world around us, we so often forget what a gift it is. To see color, to be transfixed by a setting sun. The sky moving from gentle blues to radiant reds, soft pinks and captivating purples. The way cherry juice stains our fingertips in the Summer sun, a deep striking red. Each color makes us feel a range of emotions, often different for all of us. Fine art photography is a constant seeking of color, shadow and light. The way they collide and form something intoxicatingly beautiful. Come explore the fascinating world of color and how it pertains to the language of flowers.
My small print collection has new images to fawn over. Captures of unique blooms that are meant to inspire the romance in every person they touch. Opening. Surrender. Vibrancy and softness. They offer so much beauty in a small package. I just know it will be… Love at first sight.
