Carnation

Carnations, known for their fragrant and brightly colored blooms, have a rich history as symbols of love, purity, and maternal love. In art, they often symbolize the transitory nature of beauty and life.

Nina utilizes the relief technique and FIMO modeling clay to create one-of-a-kind necklaces, symbolizing remembrance and the ephemeral essence of life, reflective of the short lifespan of cut flowers. This art serves as a poignant reminder of the impermanence of life and the beauty that fades.

Carnations, native to the Mediterranean, come in an array of colors including pink, red, white, yellow, and purple and are part of the Caryophyllaceae family. These blooms are frequently used in bouquets, floral arrangements, and for special occasions as corsages and boutonnières.

The symbolic meanings of carnations are culturally influenced and can vary depending on context. However, they remind us of the emotional impact that flowers can have and their ability to carry cultural significance beyond their beauty.
