Buddleja Acuminata, a Wildflower Fields Painting

Arne Quinze expresses with his Wildflower Fields paintings, not the strength and fragility of one flower, but the feelings and snapshots that he experiences throughout his garden. For him, his wildflower garden is his inexhaustible source of inspiration.

For the very first time, Arne Quinze also paints bushes next to his wildflowers. In this work, the Buddleja Acuminata, a rare bush species is portrayed. For the artist, painting bushes, recalled a childhood memory where he often hid in dense canopy. This gave him a sense of safety and protection. The bush offered him a hiding place, a space to escape from reality. This remains relevant in Arne Quinze's life. Nature still offers him a refuge from the high pressures imposed by society. β€œThe world today expects so much from us that you feel the need to escape everything sometimes.” Quinze can find that safe haven in nature, in his flower garden at home.
