Water Lilies at Kew
Mixed media on Canvas | Framed Size: 104cm x 104cm And 104cm x 66cm
Inspired by The Water Lily House at Kew Gardens

Inspired by the iconic Waterlily House at Kew Gardens, this large-scale diptych captures the extraordinary beauty and architectural elegance of one of the world's most celebrated glasshouses. Rather than depicting the space literally, the painting interprets the experience of being surrounded by giant lily pads, exotic blooms, reflections, and intricate botanical structures.

Across the two panels, vibrant green lily pads float across a network of layered lines and circular forms, echoing the remarkable geometry of Victoria water lilies and the glasshouse framework above. Delicate white flowers drift across the surface, bringing a sense of lightness and movement, while turquoise, lime, and deep green tones create a rich tapestry of colour and pattern.

The composition balances botanical observation with abstraction, drawing attention to the remarkable engineering found in nature. Repeating circles, organic shapes, and rhythmic mark-making suggest reflections on water, seed structures, and the intricate patterns found within leaves and flowers. Collaged elements subtly reference the cultivated nature of the gardens and the relationship between horticulture, science, and design.

Created as a diptych, the work invites the viewer to move between the two panels, exploring shifting perspectives and discovering new details within the layered surface. The painting celebrates the immersive atmosphere of the Waterlily House, conveying both its tranquillity and its sense of wonder.

A striking statement piece, Water Lily House brings together nature, pattern, and contemporary abstraction in a joyful and visually engaging celebration of one of Kew Gardens' most inspiring spaces.

This original painting is framed in natural wooden float frames for a clean, contemporary finish that enhances the strong colour palette and architectural elements. The piece arrives ready to hang.
