Specialist note

These are just still life paintings. Except, they are not from life. They are these fantastical flowers. ...I don't feel the need to inject any kind of justification or deeper meaning into these paintings. ...It is such a basic and generic subject matter that allows me to have a lot of fun with it. I do get a lot of joy out of it actually.
—Eddie Martinez
