The work

Mr. Flower Fantastic transforms one of the pavilions into The Garden Salon, an immersive botanical environment anchored by monumental red anthurium sculptures rising from lush tropical planting. Each flower is meticulously constructed from densely clustered individual blooms, creating larger-than-life floral forms that blur the line between sculpture and nature.

About the artist

At the heart of Mr. Flower Fantastic’s practice is the belief that flowers are more than decoration. They are a universal language of storytelling, connection, and transformation.

Through his work, he reimagines nature as a contemporary artistic medium, bridging the worlds of art, design, fashion, and culture.

Raised in New York City, his fascination with flowers began in his mother’s garden. Entirely self-taught, he developed a distinctive visual language that merges traditional floral craftsmanship with influences from streetwear, architecture, and collectible culture.

His signature mask and gloves, originally worn to manage an allergy to flowers, have become defining elements of his artistic identity. In 2018, his monumental floral interpretation of Serena Williams’ Nike “QUEEN” Air Max 97, designed by Virgil Abloh, brought his work to international attention. Since then, Mr. Flower Fantastic has collaborated with some of the world’s most influential brands, including Apple, LEGO, Louis Vuitton, and Jordan Brand.

Through immersive installations, public artworks, and collectible objects, he continues to expand the possibilities of floral art while shaping new conversations around nature, culture, and design.
