  • Timelapse Art Video: A Thousand Ways to Love–Banksia, Eucalyptus, Amaranthus and Celosia By HSIN LIN

    {From 12 months to 5 mins } A Thousand Ways to Love – Acorn Banksia, Eucalyptus, Amaranthus, Celosia cristata and Yellow Everlastings (2023) By HSIN LIN Artist Acrylic on Acid-free stretched gallery-wrapped canvas. Signed at the front and ready to hang. Artwork painted extends to all side panels. D rings and wire are attached at the back. Comes with a certificate of authenticity. Sealed with clear varnish spray. 76.2cm (W) x 91.4cm (H) x 3.5cm (D) Affirmation: While there are a thousand ways to say I love you, my strongest love language is always acts of service. To experience the seasons, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom around my surroundings, during its flowering season. This is my depiction of the gorgeous bouquet that was gifted to me by my family and family members overseas as a surprise, during the opening night of my solo exhibition - Bloom Like Flowers, presented by Maroondah City Council at Maroondah Federation Estate Gallery. (Melbourne, Australia) Even the galley curators kept a secret till I saw a large, breathtakingly beautiful bouquet with the crowd during the opening. I was overwhelmed by a surge of various emotions. Words could not describe how happy and grateful I am for all the love and support I received. Sometimes the strongest love may be left unsaid but presents itself loudest in action. Therefore, I chose to express it in the best way I could think of - with my paint brushes and canvas. All the native blossoms bloom gloriously. A precious memory that I will cherish forever. Therefore, I have the title - A Thousand Ways to Love, to say I love you, for this particular artwork. I started this artwork around Dec 2022. It’s been a long journey, sunny days and rainy days. To depict the different textures of those special native flowers correctly, somedays I even had to start all over if I wasn’t satisfied with the outcome the day before. Some of the tepals are velvety, some are furry, and some have woody, rough surfaces or relatively firm textures. The process wasn’t an easy task but It’s a challenge that I always enjoyed. The flowers I painted during day sometimes appear in my dreams. After 12 months of production time, I finally had it completed on Dec 2023. Here I present you the latest piece from my award-winning/signature series -Bloom like Flowers. BANKSIA prionotes, a species of shrub or tree of the genus Banksia in the family Proteaceae, also known as Acorn Banksia or Orange Banksia. In the Language of Flowers, Banksia symbolizes rebirth, regeneration and new beginnings. Amaranthus, with tiny flowers blooming in cascading clusters creating a weeping effect, is considered a symbol of immortality due to its longevity. The name Amaranthus came from the Greek “amarantos”, meaning “unfading”, which also describes the vivid colours of the flowers that can last for weeks while on the plant. Dracula Celosia, formerly Celosia cristata, also known as cockscomb, is the crested variety of the species Celosia argentea. The unusual shape and richly-hued blooms of the flower is not the only reason why it stands out, it’s also believed that celosia is a good omen. Celosia is a symbol of boldness. If you want to wish someone courage, gifting Celosia to the person you care about will send the right message. Celosia flowers also stand for affection, love, individuality, partnership, resilience, and strength. Yellow Paper Daisy, also known as Sticky Everlasting, Shiny Everlasting, or Golden Everlasting. Yellow Daisy stands for youthful beauty and gentleness. Some people look at the daisy to be a symbol of good luck. However, the most popular meanings attached to the daisy are - loyal love, innocence, and purity. As for my all-time favourite - Eucalyptus flowers and gum nuts stand for Healing and Protection. Flowers always bloom in their own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our time in the best season. Hope you enjoy this artwork of mine.

    {December Studio Highlight} New Artwork Release: Joyous Heart Forever Love – Waratah, Firewood Banksia, White Protea and Pine.

    {December Studio Highlight} New Artwork Release: Joyous Heart Forever Love – Waratah, Firewood Banksia, White Protea and Pine.

    Happy festive season everyone! Greetings from me to all the new & old friends. Time flies and it's December already! The journey is always joyous with your company, much appreciate your love and support. A quick studio update for you, the small version of this artwork was sold & off to a good home. If you love it but missed the first one, my 2nd depiction (also the last one) of the beautiful bouquet was painted in size 75 x 75 cm and titled: Joyous Heart Forever Love, which is perfect for Christmas too! Featured artwork in the photos : Joyous Heart Forever Love – Waratah, Firewood Banksia, White Protea and Pine (2023) 75 x 75 cm By HSIN LIN Acrylic on Acid-free canvas. Painted with palette knives and brushes. Sealed with clear spray varnish. Side panels painted. Signed at the front and ready to hang. Affirmation: Love goes on in the joyous season. To experience the seasons, it has become a routine of mine to paint the first bloom around my surroundings, during its flowering season. This artwork was inspired by a day trip to Queenscliff, Victoria. This gorgeous bouquet caught my attention. All the native flowers in this flower arrangement bloom gloriously just like the beautiful sunny day that we had that day. The Red Waratah flower (Telopea), native to the south-eastern parts of Australia - New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, is the symbol of undying love. The bright red Telopea speciosissima is also the NSW state emblem. The inflorescence of Proteaceae is often large, blooming in brightly, vivid colour, consisting of many small flowers densely packed into a compact head or spike. There’s also a saying that the aboriginal people soaked the Waratah in water and drank it as a tonic of strength. The white Protea Niobe (Protea magnifica x laurifolia) has light yellow flowers with trims of soft black, purplish foliage that outline the tips of the petals. Protea is also associated with change and transformation, and diversity. I am especially in love with the story behind the name: In Greek legend, proteas were named after Proteus, the son of Poseidon. A sea god who had the power to know all things past, present, and future. Banksia menziesii, also known as firewood banksia or strawberry banksia. Leaves are dull green with new growth in greyish green. Flowers are often in two-coloured red or pink and yellow. Menzies Banksia is commonly seen in Australian Parks and gardens, it provides food for animals and birds, in particular- honeyeaters. Banksia symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. To move on from the past courageously, to have the strength to look forward to tomorrow. Leucadendrons are often used to convey an appreciation for simplicity in life. The blossoms are uncomplicated and have a simple appearance to them. Simple beauty is one of the most popular meanings for this bloom. As for my all-time favourite - Pine leaves, are often considered to be a symbol of longevity and endurance because of their ability to withstand harsh conditions. All the native blossoms bloom gloriously. A precious memory that I would like to cherish forever. Therefore, I have the title - Joyous Heart Forever Love, for this particular artwork. Flowers always bloom in their own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our time in the best season. Hope you enjoy this artwork of mine.

I am especially in love with the story behind the name: In Greek legend, proteas were named after Proteus, the son of Poseidon. A sea god who had the power to know all things past, present, and future. Banksia menziesii, also known as firewood banksia or strawberry banksia. Leaves are dull green with new growth in greyish green. Flowers are often in two-coloured red or pink and yellow. Banksia symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. To move on from the past courageously, to have the strength to look forward to tomorrow. Leucadendrons are often used to convey an appreciation for simplicity in life. Simple beauty is one of the most popular meanings for this bloom. As for my all-time favourite - Pine leaves, are often considered to be a symbol of longevity and endurance because of their ability to withstand harsh conditions. All the native blossoms bloom gloriously. A precious memory that I would like to cherish forever. Therefore, I have the title - Love Forever, for this particular artwork. Flowers always bloom in their own time without competing with other flowers. May we all bloom in our time in the best season.

    📯Now On Show : 18 Oct - 19 Dec2023 - HSIN LIN‘s solo exhibition - Blossoms of Life – at Wyreena Arts Centre, Invited by Maroondah City Council.

    Hello everyone ! I will be at Wyreena Community Arts Centre tomorrow (21 Oct) for Artist Talk from 12- 2pm, come say hi if you are around the area . Looking forward to meet everyone at my 2023 solo exhibition ! The Arts Lounge Exhibition - Hsin Lin's Solo : Blossoms of Life (Room 2) 18 October - 19 December 2023 Image: A Lifetime Sunshine - Corymbia Ficifolia / Hsin Lin / acrylic on canvas Lin is inspired by her close observation of the natural world. Through a process of careful looking Lin is able to capture an incredible amount of intricate detail. To create the larger-scale work, Lin normally spends 6-12 months developing the intricate composition. The fine details such as the tiny petals have been developed through ten or more layers of paint. Lin describes that ‘although still-life is considered a traditional genre, each object in the paintings stands for a different meaning and has its own story. Flowers represent us as humans, vases represent the body carrying our soul, protecting us like a shield. The weaving basket stands for connections—the bonds between families, friends and all the people around us. Even if you are apart, everyone is still being linked together as a whole and we are stronger together.’ Lin’s paintings, a series of flowers in full bloom, remind us that we are alive, and that life is vibrant, blossoming, and full of potential.
