This work was inspired by Prempeh’s time spent on Alim's family farm, where she felt a deep reconnection with nature. In her words, the artist states: ‘I remember thinking, this is the beginning - this is where the land starts to grow and flourish. It was also the beginning of my exploration into painting trees and leaves. In fact, this piece is the first time I worked with the color green...'
I then asked myself, "How do I paint flowers in my own style, and what would they look like?" It was both easy and challenging. Easy in the sense of actually painting them, but challenging because I kept wondering, "Do they really look like flowers? Do they seem childish?" I wasn’t sure at first. But once the flowers took shape - especially the Marigold - I felt more confident. I realized that I want to explore more flowers and bouquets, particularly those from the country I’m in. This feels like the start of a new direction in my work.’
