Singapore - Giant flowers part of Croatian’s dream
Print Edition
A magnificent 15-foot fiberglass amethyst flower bloomed outside the ArtScience Museum on Marine Bay Sands in Singapore on Tuesday.
Titled “Love,” the sculpture is one of the 15 art installations of the “Love & Peace” collection by Croatian artist Ana Tzarev. All 15 feet in size, these flowers are hailed as the world’s largest collection of art installation.
The art is inspired by a childhood habit of the 76-year-old artist, a child of war in Croatia, of picking flowers from the graves surrounding her and planting them at home. She believed the power and beauty of flowers can connect different nations.
“I want these striking and vibrant sculptures to attract people and encourage them to tell their stories and share their experiences. My dream is for my flowers to act as beacons and rallying points across the planet — bringing people together on a global scale,” said Tzarev.
The flowers have traveled many places across the world, including London, Venice, New York, Prague and Rome. The next appearance is in Beijing in January.
