Codi Barbini

Codi Barbini's exploration of flowers, often found on her daily walks or borrowed from memory, is an ode to love, joy, and gratitude, a sentiment deeply rooted in her daily process based painting practice.

Floral art has a rich history; from the still life paintings of the Dutch Golden Age to the modernist interpretations of artists like Georgia O'Keeffe, artists have consistently challenged and redefined the genre, using flowers as a means of personal expression and storytelling.

Codi Barbini's floral paintings offer a contemporary perspective on this enduring subject matter. Her large-scale oil paintings and smaller works on found (magazine) paper embrace abstraction and metaphor, pushing the boundaries of creativity through gesture, colour, and scale.
