Marika Borlase - Seeds Of Spring | Wildflower Cocktails 2025

This series captures the quiet intoxication of the Australian spring — a season steeped in colour, warmth, and renewal. Ochres, lilacs, peaches, greens, and soft yellows mix like light through glass, suggesting the subtle blending of nature’s own ingredients. Each semi-abstract landscape is a gentle toast to the land: to seeds stirring beneath the soil, wildflowers blooming after rain, and clouds drifting like vapour across the sky.

These paintings are not about indulgence, but about balance — how earth, air, and colour combine in perfect measure. Seeds of Spring invites the viewer to pause, breathe in the season, and taste the landscape’s quiet shimmer.
