Why female artists?

Inspiration from art

So, we have for example "The Murray" in our collection, inspired by the work of Elisabeth Murray. She was an influential American artist known for her vibrant, abstract paintings. Her work is recognized for its unconventional shapes and bold use of color. Or how about "The Hicks," inspired by the American textile artist Sheila Hicks, famous for her colorful wall hangings and textile sculptures.

A name with meaning

The name "Bloom & Wolf" itself is a nod to the Dutch artist Rachel Ruysch. This woman was a pioneer in the Golden Age and earned three times as much for her flower paintings as Rembrandt did for his work. Despite her busy life as a mother of ten, she continued painting into old age. Rachel Ruysch was not only a talented artist but also an inspiring example of perseverance and passion. Her connection with the streets Bloemgracht and Wolvenstraat inspired our name: Bloom & Wolf.

A tribute to revolutionary women

As a tribute to Rachel Ruysch and other revolutionary women, we have decided to name all our bouquets after female artists who, like her, have changed the art world. We want to celebrate their work and legacy by passing on their names and inspiration through our creations.
