Recently, I’ve been exploring the delightful world of maximalism—a style that resonates with my love for printmaking, where more is indeed more. It’s a celebration of the 1980s maximalism revival, with bold chintz prints, playful pastel tones, and vintage decor. It’s a bit like stepping into an exuberant painting where every corner tells a story. Kate Hudson’s bathroom, for instance, is a masterful dance of ornate window dressings, a glistening gold chandelier, and a striking blue freestanding tub. This design philosophy invites us to mix retro and contemporary elements, echoing the rhythmic balance I aim to achieve in my block prints. Such spaces capture nostalgia with a modern twist, creating visual symphonies that are both timeless and timely. As we approach 2023, this trend doesn’t just beckon interior enthusiasts but inspires artists like us to blend the old with the new, both on the canvas and in our homes. It’s a fascinating dialogue between what was and what can be, and in that sweet spot, true creativity thrives.
