A celebration of butterflies, bamboo and botanicals! Lilly is a beautiful modern chinoiserie art print which was originally hand-painted onto pure silk, inspired by the traditional Chinese painting technique ‘Gongbi’ - a meticulously detailed style which executes the highest level of precision and detail.
I first created Lilly as a bespoke piece for one of my favourite clients back in the day when I was doing custom commissions. This lady had a particular fondness for butterflies, so I created two prints featuring butterflies in her honour, and named them after her two daughters – Mariya and Lilly.
Lilly is set in the traditional, elongated Chinoiserie style proportions for a classic feel. Serene, restful and super feminine, Mariya and Lilly look so beautiful as a pair above bedside cabinets, over a console table or anywhere you’d like to create a feature within your home.
The lighting, alignment and resolution of the original painting has been maintained using a precision scanner. This process creates a perfect reproduction of the original painting, including the soft texture of the woven silk and every fine brush stroke.
