About

Based in Barcelona, Germany and Switzerland, Flamboyant Flowers starte das an anti-app art project following the Time Well Spend manifest by Tristan Harris. The App publishes a Flamboyant Flower every day on the lockscreen of an Android smartphone. The App was released on the 11th of September in memory of the victims of 9-11. Unfortunately the App has been removed by Google due to some compliance issue. A new version is in development…

In parallel to the app project a daily Flamboyant Flower is published on Instagram under @flamboyantflowersapp as well as Facebook under @flamboyantapp. All photographs are taken wit a macro lens in one of our Flamboyant Studios in Europe. More recently a Flamboyant Flowers field has been planted in order to grow more uncommon flowers.

Flamboyant Flowers takes it's name from the iconic Pet Shop Boys song "Flamboyant" and is inspired by photography pioneers such as Karl Blossfeldt, Wilson Bentley as well as textile designers William Kilburn, William Morris and Walter Crane. Further inspiration can be found in the Japanese florist-artist Makoto Azuma, the Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar as well as Andy Warhol…

Flamboyant Flowers aims to remind us that beauty is most of all something natural, transcendent yet ephemeral. By capturing the many wonderful and sometimes strange facets of flowers in a photograph, Flamboyant Flowers unveils rarely observed details of sophisticateion, delicacy and filigree beauty. These unique artwordk are perfectly enhanced and become truly "flamboyant" by backlit screen as used in digital devices or digital art frames.
