Bursting with an array of muted tones and intricate geometric shapes, this artwork captures the celebratory spirit and organic charm of one of Canada’s most beloved floral events. Geometric slices compile a serene landscape where the iconic architecture of the Parliamentary buildings stands proudly against a pastel sky.

Delicate petals seem to dance in the breeze, while strategically placed blooms lead the eye across the canvas, celebrating the natural symmetry and balance inherent in nature. This portrayal is not only a visual feast but an ode to the harmonious blend of man-made and natural beauty that the festival showcases each year. Birds in mid-flight add a dynamic element to the serene scene, suggesting the fleeting, ephemeral quality of the festival itself. *** About Ottawa Tulip Festival: Launched in 1953, the Ottawa Tulip Festival has grown to become the largest of its kind in the world, drawing over half a million visitors annually. Every spring, Canada's capital is transformed with over one million tulips in various sites across the city. The festival not only celebrates the advent of spring but also commemorates the historic Royal tulip gift from the Dutch royal family following World War II as a thank you for Canada’s role in liberating the Netherlands and hosting Princess Juliana during the Nazi occupation.
