Peony Painting

The peony print is the print of the queen of flowers. This has been its name in China for over a thousand years, where it is the flower of wealth, honor, and love, and where a peony print in the living room brings prosperity to the home. In Japan, it is the flower of courage and good fortune. In the West, it has become the bride's flower and the number one flower for decoration, ahead of the rose. Its dozens of tightly packed petals, its almost unreal roundness, its powdery pinks, corals, creamy whites, and deep reds have exactly the softness that today's interiors seek. And it has a short season, May and June, which makes it precious: the peony wilts in a few days, but a peony print is peonies all year round. Our collection of peony prints brings together the flower in all its colors, bouquets, and styles: close-up peonies, bouquets in their vase, watercolor peonies, Chinese peonies, dark peonies, minimalist peonies. Each peony print is printed on premium canvas or glossy plexiglass in our workshop in Germany. Each peony canvas is an original creation from our gallery, with light in the petals and the softness of the flower.

Our gallery brings together all the families of the peony print. Pink peonies: powdery pink, pale pink, bright pink, pink and white, close-up and in a bouquet. White and cream peonies: ivory petals, golden heart, on a light or dark background. Coral and peach peonies: the colors of the sunset. Red and burgundy peonies: deep, in chiaroscuro. Bouquets of peonies in their vase, on a table, near a window. Close-up peonies, a single full-flower heart. Watercolor peonies, light and transparent. Chinese peonies in print and ink, peonies and birds, peonies and butterflies. Dark peonies on a black background, in the spirit of old still lifes. Minimalist peonies, a stem on a plain background. Peonies and woman, peonies and face. Peony fields. Each peony wall print brings the softness and abundance of the flower to a bedroom, living room, entrance, or bathroom.

Why the peony has become the number one flower for decoration

The peony print has overtaken the rose print in interiors. Several reasons explain this success. First, its roundness: the peony is a sphere of petals, a full and soft shape that soothes the eye, where the rose is more graphic. Next, the colors: powdery pink, coral, cream, burgundy, peonies have the exact colors of today's interiors, beige, terracotta, pink, sage green. Then again, the marriage: the peony is the flower of bridal bouquets, and the peony print extends this memory into the bedroom. Then feng shui: in China, the peony in the living room attracts wealth, and in the bedroom love; millions of homes follow this tradition. Then rarity: two months of blooming per year, and expensive bouquets; the peony print is the peony that does not wilt. Finally, versatility: the peony exists in soft watercolor for a bedroom, close-up for a living room, dark for a sophisticated interior, in print for an Asian interior. For those who love all flowers, our flower collection brings together roses, tulips, orchids, lavender, and sunflowers.

Our selection of peony prints is based on three requirements. The accuracy of the flower first. The peony has its structure: dozens of tightly packed petals, a heart sometimes golden with stamens, cut leaves, a flexible stem that bends under the weight of the flower. Our compositions respect the flower, and do not confuse it with the rose or the dahlia. Next, the light. The peony is made for window light, soft and lateral, which passes through the petals. Our compositions are designed like photographs taken at the right time. Finally, the softness. A peony print should not shout: powdery palettes, measured contrasts, calm background. It is this softness that makes the whole flower.
