Florescencism is a new ‘ism’ in contemporary art presented by Iranian-Maltese painter Lida Sherafatmand. Sherfatmand started her career with refined, simple to understand, and distinct concepts relating to global peace and human rights. Florescencism relates to blooms and flowers – to state the literal meaning – since “florescence” is typically defined as the process of flowering. Using interdisciplinary approaches, prior research has suggested the relevance of psychological, sociological, historical, symbolic, political, and even botanical aspects related to this artistic trend. However, the issue is more significant when the analysis aims to understand “Flower” as the primary subject matter, rather than just an ornamental element of a painting.
