Lillies

A bold etching depicting lilies in full bloom, their petals and stamens rendered with assured, gestural mark-making that emphasises form through contrast. The composition is intimate yet dynamic, with flowers and foliage densely arranged across the rectangular format. The high-contrast black and white palette creates a striking visual intensity, whilst the confident linear work conveys both botanical observation and expressive energy. Boonzaier’s practice as a painter extended across multiple media, and this work demonstrates his accomplished handling of the etching technique.
