Birds and bees is a series of small paintings perfectly framed in twisted ceramic. The images are drawn from direct observations of plants and insects in the artist’s flourishing garden. The result is a series of intimate and cherished moments that pay homage to Valamanesh's admired botanical artists, Mary Delany (1700-1788) and Jan van Kessel (1626-1679).
