Anthuriums Take Center Stage in Alina Gross' Latest Photoshoot

Alina Gross Presents Flamingo Flowers in a New Light
Because it is such a beautiful editorial, Alina shared a bit more of her inspo behind the works plus a few curious details in a short interview.
Q: How did this creative idea pop into your head and what does this artwork represent to you? Why did you choose this flower for this art?
Alina:
"Working with the flamingo flower came to my mind in 2020. The flower is provocative and sensual. At that time I was dealing with gender issues. What is masculine and what is feminine? That's when I found out that the flamingo flower has female and male parts, it reflects the duality in our world. For me, it has a strong aura and so we as a team produced an editorial about it."
Q: What does this flower represent in this photoshoot? What is the symbolism you thought of behind it?
Alina:
"In this photoshoot, the flower is sensual, feminine, and elegant. The model Malea Keana brings the flower to life, embodying the beauty. It's all about showing its true beauty and organic shapes. The woman stands as the symbol of beauty as well."
Q: How did you get inspired to create this?
Alina:
"I love developing catchy and impactful visual works that force you to look and burn themselves into your memory. I always try to surprise the viewer and give them new impulses."
Q: Why do you like working with flowers for your art?
Alina:
"A flower goes through three stages: germination, blossoming, and fading, which is similar to the birth and life cycle. It represents the compassion and attraction of the moment when life unfolds and welcomes the light."
Now open for publication, 'The Allure of the Flamingo Flower' is ready to enamour audiences with its refined and modern take on feminine beauty.
