We need flowers! 🌹🥀🌷💐🌼

When I was preparing to create this collage (believe it or not, the process usually takes a few days and takes place in my head while I'm doing other things), I had in mind a scene of a kind of bathing area where elegant baroque divas are bathing. At the same time, evil older men secretly peek out from behind the mountains.

But as is often the case with creativity, the process took me in a completely different direction! The result is a lively, colorful postcard full of flowers that - at least in my opinion - radiates optimism and positive energy.

There is no trace of bad intentions or sinful thoughts in it. The flowers that adorn the collage are a symbol of hope and beauty, and I believe we need more of this positive attitude. Perhaps if we emphasize beauty and goodness, the world will truly change for the better.

The creation process

I created the collage using Photoshop.
First, I prepared the background by multiplying the base image and using the Distort Spherize filter, and increasing the color saturation.
Then I added objects, or rather various flowers, in layers.
Finally, I cropped the collage.

Hope you have fun!
