Warhol was inspired by a photograph of hibiscus flowers published in Modern Photography magazine. Although the image was initially realistic, Warhol transformed it, simplifying its shapes and colors into an almost ornamental design. As in his other works, such as those of celebrities and commercial products, Warhol applied the technique of silkscreen printing to create multiple versions of the same image, using different color combinations for each print. This resulted in a kind of “mass production” of flowers, which, although natural in origin, were transformed into aesthetic symbols of consumption.
The Flowers series has been interpreted as a reflection on the transience of beauty and life, presenting flowers-classic symbols of mortality-in an almost superficial way. In this sense, the work alludes both to life and death and to the ephemeral, commercialized beauty of pop culture.
The Flowers series remains one of Warhol's most beloved and remembered works, a piece that combines color, form and repetition, and invites reflection on the relationship between art and nature in the age of mass culture.

Each sign is made of a neon flex material, consisting of PVC or Silicon piping with LED lights, that is mounted on a recycled acrylic board. These materials allow to create realistic neon signs, with bright lights and intense color, while being more durable, affordable, and sustainable than traditional neon.
Sustainability is taken seriously thanks to its LED lights which consumes 6 times less energy than traditional lights, lasting up to 100,000 hours. These neon is crafted using recycled materials and 100% recycled packaging, including removing all useless plastic.
