Wild Petals at Daybreak

Thailys Freites, Staff

Bursting with vibrant magentas, soft corals, and cool blues, this bouquet feels freshly gathered from a meadow at dawn. The loose watercolour washes blend gently into a pale sky-tinted background, while Thailys’s expressive ink lines dance around each petal, giving the flowers character and effortless movement. Light splatters punctuate the composition, adding playfulness and capturing the spontaneity of nature in bloom.

About the Artist:
Thailys, Head of Learning Support, has been painting her whole life. When her essential tremor progressed and straight lines became difficult, she refused to give up her craft—instead, she transformed her tremor into her style. Her distinctive squiggly lines and flowing watercolours are a celebration of adaptation, resilience, and the joy of creating without limits.
