Vincent Burzy’s ‘Wall Paper’ features repeating motifs in gold, white, and blue, neatly arranged on a subtle, light-gray ground. You can almost feel him at work here, carefully outlining each shape, maybe even humming to himself. I wonder, was he thinking about creating an entire room with this pattern? Imagine it wrapping around you, that rhythmic, gilded geometry. The blue accents are like little jewels, catching the light and adding a touch of luxury. And the floral arrangements—they're so delicate. I can’t help but think about William Morris, or maybe even some of the Art Deco designers. There's a conversation happening across time. I love how each artist takes what comes before and remixes it, adds their own spin. That's the joy of art, isn't it? It never really ends, it just keeps evolving.
