New flowers exhibit by Passia Pandora
Passia will be unveiling her porfolio of flower portraits called “My Solstice Garden”. She has been photographing flowers for several years now. This is her first ever exhibition of her florals. Her beautiful images will certainly brighten up these dark days and are wonderful as gifts.
Although Passia is well-know for her sexual portraiture, she also enjoys photographing other genres. Flowers are one of her favorite subjects. This is the very first time she’s mounted an exhibition of her floral art.
Passia has been building her portfolio of flower photographs for several years now. Her images come primarily from cut flower bouquets and garden flowers. Using a macro lens to focus her point of viewing, Passia seeks to reveal and illuminate the miracle of the flower, a miracle that is often overlooked by the casual viewer.
Passia’s design aesthetic including dynamic composition, negative space, and tonal variation strongly influences her art. Whether the image is abstracted or representational, these elements come together to reflect her signature style.
As the artist-owner of Liberté Gallery, Passia Pandora, aged 50+ has a mission to assist low-income seniors, who are disproportionately women at risk for malnutrition. By working with 411 Seniors, an organization that has been providing subsidized meals for elders in Vancouver for over 30 years, Passia can make a difference in her community, while receiving exposure for her cutting-edge gallery.
