Fashion Design (with Knitwear) BA Hons, Central Saint Martins, 2006
Selected by David Collins Studio for Harrods and Café de Paris Monaco. Shells and botany are the obsessive subject matter of Larissa Virdee's intricately detailed paintings. Her sensitivity to natural pattern, and delight in its ornamental possibilities, results in work that is joyful, sensual, and quietly escapist – a visual world of exquisite abundance.
I intensely explore nature and botanical subjects, creating stylised works that celebrate the beauty of the natural world. My paintings are an invitation to escape into a world of joy, sensuality and abundance.
