Known for his magnificent flowers, Brian Davis transforms exquisite blossoms like roses, calla lilies, and dahlias into romantic, compelling images with sharpness, color, movement, edge, and light.

Before he begins his artistic journey on canvas, Davis combs the fields and gardens near his Los Angeles home, searching for a flower or landscape that catches his eye.

Brian believes that the great depth in his art is derived from his paying great attention to the subtle shifts in value (relative dark and light). He is often asked if there is a light source behind his paintings making them look so lit up. "The light is the real subject of my work. The flower is the stage, the light is the dancer."

Utilizing two hanging mirrors, so that he can view his unfinished work at all angles, Brian works daily in his small studio filled with books, music, and historical videos.
 Greatly influenced by the Dutch Masters, along with the artists of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco, Brian is inspired by images of highly stylized renditions of birds and flowers and their intensity of color achieved by many, many layers of paint.
