My name is Marina Rozhkova.
Each fallen leaf, faded flower
keeps the heat of summer, sunshine, and joy of life.
It will not disappear.
All of it is stored in our souls and in art named Oshibana, or
Floral Collage.
This is a mural that holds the beauty and uniqueness of nature.
Each collage is unique just as nature.
Floral collage technique is simple - it's just
sticking elements of nature on to the man-made material background.
But in this simplicity comes harmony between man and nature.
Floral collage in your home can become a point of calm and relaxation.
