Florence + the Machine

This hand drawn print of Florence is inspired by Art Nouveau, the movement that celebrated organic life with curling tendrils of vegetation and vivid colors. These visuals are strongly linked with the posters from Psychedelic rock scene of the late '60s.
Big into symbolism, Florence Welsh herself has a tattoo of triangles symbolizing two of the four basic elements in alchemy. The upright triangle with a line through it represents air, while the upside-down triangle represents water.
This is why Florence here is seen standing in a lake, gazing up at the stars, surrounded by lily pads and lotus flowers.
The moon, the stars, the lotus flowers and the water all represent womanhood, strength and rebirth.
In her hand, there is a robin, England's official bird, where Florence is from. The robin is a beautiful songbird that signifies the arrival of spring and rebirth.
