Where Life Meets Stories

Preserved Forever in Oil Paint

A Flower With a Story to Live

Life moves fast.

A wonderful day, a moment of profound realisation, a milestone or a special love.

These experiences shape who we are, yet they slip away into the past. 

I believe that your most personal life events deserve a permanent anchor. By blending the ancient language of Floriography with the rich, enduring texture of fine oil paint, I catch your most meaningful chapters of life, right before they might fade.

Every brushstroke, every layer of pigment, and every petal captured on my canvases is a conscious act of preservation. When you look at the painting on your wall, you aren’t just looking at a floral still life. You are looking at a living archive of your own journey.

The event may be over, but its spirit Lives in Flowers.

And That’s Me

Hi, I’m Silvia Laura, an Italian oil painter based in Amstelveen, The Netherlands.

I have always been fascinated by flowers, not only by their beauty, but by the emotions and memories they can evoke.
A beautiful day, a milestone, a person we love. Through oil painting, I try to capture that feeling rather than simply reproduce what a flower looks like.

That was exactly the idea.

Its deeper meaning, however, lay in the desire to feel close to my mother, through something as alive and meaningful as her  favourite flower.

That’s how Lives in Flowers began.

To give every painting real depth, I studied Floriography, the ancient language of flowers, so each one I paint carries a deeper meaning as well as beauty. Blended with the rich texture of fine oil paint, it turns your story into something that speaks its own language.

How I Work

The process is a collaboration between us. This way, I can
get to know you better: your story, the moment you want
to preserve, and the feelings behind it. So, the painting
reflects not just a flower, but your flower.

Pricing

You can choose from a range of canvas sizes to suit your space and your story. The price varies accordingly, so you can select the size that feels right for you, whether you’re looking for a small, personal keepsake or a bold
centerpiece that truly commands attention.
