Riotous Blossoms is a vibrant paper collage created in New York City to celebrate the birth of the artist’s newborn son. A tribute to new life, the composition bursts with joyful color as blossoms erupt across the surface in an exuberant display. Each petal is meticulously hand-cut from non-toxic paper—an intentional choice to avoid traditional pigments that could be harmful in a newborn’s environment. This thoughtful use of safe materials underscores the artist’s commitment to both care and sustainability. Layered and luminous, the collage evokes the tender promise of infancy intertwined with the pulsing energy of city life. Through flowers and paper, the work radiates pure love and devotion—a heartfelt gesture rendered in color and form.
