Orchid, this queen between flowers, apparently in ancient Greece, eaten men to increase their chances of conception of the boy. In many cultures, the orchids, on the other hand, are more associated with the female principle, symbolizing love and fertility. It is assumed that witches use their roots to make potions of love. Niklova orchid combines innocence and sexuality, its realistic performance is an art game with both.

Petr Nikl for 100pcs

This is one of the orchids painted with oil according to the Pandemie Covid, when I had a lot of time and I did a lot. I am excited about those flowers (not only in orchids) the metaphor of the biological as such. There are also quite erotic elements - like the suppository. But because of that I don't. There is such stickiness and such a special beauty in poison.
