Flowers For Her: Iancu Barbărasă draws a bouquet of flowers every day to make his partner smile

Pin It

Instead of being able to pop to the shops to buy flowers for his partner, Iancu Barbărasă has been drawing a bouquet every day to help her smile and get them both through these challenging times.

The London-based designer and illustrator has been keeping himself busy during the lockdown and has now shared some of his floral artworks with us: “We’ve been at home all day, usually working in the same room. Starting the day with a smile in such difficult times can make a big difference. And since I can’t go out and buy flowers like before, I decided to draw some instead,” Iancu tells Creative Boom.

“That’s because I think making your loved one smile every day is one of the best ways to have a happy relationship. You can do it in many ways, and they don’t need to be grand gestures. In the long run, it’s the little things that often pay off a lot more than expensive presents or impressive feats.”

Each drawing is usually made early in the morning before breakfast on A6 paper using ink brush pens. It’s a series similar to Iancu’s Morning Drawings from a few years back, which was inspired by Katsuji Wakisaka, the great Japanese textile designer. Iancu hopes to turn his latest artworks into perhaps a booklet, set of postcards, or posters – he’s yet to decide. In the meantime, follow his updates on Instagram.
