This experimental airy flower arrangement was inspired by the Dutch and Flemish painters. In this artwork we tried to combine large scaled blooms along with the tiny flowers which was the distinguished feature of the Jacob de Gheyn’s works.
We paid attention to the airy fixing effect – it seems like the flowers are hanging in the air – giving the visitors the possibility to focus only on the art object.
The outstanding feature of this work is the small newly constructed flower. Its peculiarity is the 120gr designer paper, that was shaped (also a little bit of magic and secret moves) into the twisted curved paper, which was possible due to our author technique.

The new Paper Flower Arrangement, created by Mio Gallery, depicts a posh summer rose garden at MOOY concept store in Antwerpen, Belgium.
The whimsical paper floral set up is made of variety of paper roses, hydrangea flowers, lillie flowers, peonies and geranium flowers and leaves.
The paper flowers design is represented through author techniques with three-dimensional effect, that makes this piece so much adorable!

Riggs Washington DC sheltered in a historic building once home to Riggs National Bank, known as the “Bank of Presidents”. No wonder you’ll notice various historical echoes here, for example, guest rooms and suites, each reminiscent of a private safety deposit box, or an all-occasion European brasserie-inspired café, in the lounge of which the custom flower case installation takes centerstage.This awe-inspiring lush display of colorful paper flowers contains an improbably top-heavy arrangement of paper hydrangea, peonies, hibiscus, iris, tulip, orange blossom, dahlia, red berries branches, calendula and rose, collected in a wayward bouquet.
Following the traditions of Dutch and Flemish painters, we have combined flowers from different countries and even different continents in one composition and at one moment of blooming. And here they are, spot-lit and radiant, a profusion of intensely colored blooms and tangled stems, assembled closely together like whimsically fabulous specimens cultivated by a supernaturally gifted grower.On the ground floor of our multi-level composition large heads of blue hydrangea playfully competing with enormous paper peonies, which with their lush, full, rounded bloom embody romance and prosperity. Right the next door conspicuous, trumpet-shaped flowers of hibiscus settled. They are red, pale lilac and white and we’re sure you’ll need some extra time to explore their fluffy cores. On one hand, juicy red color of paper dahlia brings expressive power and strength to the bouquet, on the other hand, modest flowers of calendula pacify with its warm yellow color. Numerous paper orange blooms allow you to make a wish because they appear to be the radiant stars in our paper handmade galaxy. Red paper roses remind us the best traditions of classical genre. We suppose that our neat white cups of tulips can hardly remember the old times of “tulip mania” when they were considered priceless rarities. Extraordinary dark blue flowers of iris belligerently blossoming towards the sun cause the deep respect and spread the dizzy scent of freedom.
Mio Gallery created a number of large freestanding paper flowers and leaves for Italian cosmetics brand PuroBio Cosmetics to decorate their exhibition stand on the annual exhibition SANA 2018 in Bologna, Italy.
The Paper flower arrangement included oversized paper peonies, paper poppies and paper roses as well as paper leaves to decorate the exhibition stand.
The aim was to make the exhibition stand bright and attractive for the customers as well as popping out of the crowd, so we have chosen bright pink and deep red colors with teal green and tiffany blue shades for the greenery to make the result more fascinating!

Gent heeft de Floraliën, Antwerpen het Paleis op de Meir. Maar wat zou het betekenen als de twee hun krachten eens bundelden? Topfloristen uit binnen- en buitenland zullen tussen 5 en 9 oktober 2022 het historische pand op de Meir omtoveren tot een bloemenfestival. Ook Antwerpse floristen kregen van het team van de Gentse Floraliën, erfgoedorganisatie Herita en de Stad Antwerpen de opdracht om elk een koninklijk salon vanuit een eigen visie van bloemen te voorzien. Want niets is meer uniek dan wat ontstaan is in de natuur.
Bloemen van papier
Mira en haar echtgenoot Valerii van Mio Gallery belandden in 2021 vanuit Oekraïne in Antwerpen. In de koffers: papier, scharen, flexitubes en lijm.
Mira: “We maken onze papieren bloemen inderdaad met de hand, alleen voor het op maat snijden van de vellen hebben we machines. We hebben maar één inspiratiebron: de natuur. Omdat we met specifiek papier werken, zijn we beperkt in kleuren en kunnen we niet alle bloemen maken. Daarom maken we onze bloemen zo groot mogelijk. Big is not big enough! Maar hoe groter, hoe moeilijker het is om ze rechtop te houden. Daar besteden we veel tijd aan en het is bijna wiskunde om de wetten van de zwaartekracht te omzeilen. Al beseffen we goed dat we de competitie met de natuur nooit kunnen winnen. Voor de Floraliën kozen we voor klaprozen. We installeren ze in de winkel en het atelier van de The Chocolate Line omdat daar geen echte bloemen kunnen. De bezoekers zullen verbaasd zijn over wat je met papier allemaal kan doen. Valerii en ik werken in ons atelier uiteraard niet alleen. We hebben een heel team dat ons helpt bij grote volumes. Elk van onze bloemen is uniek en verschilt van de ander. Het is zoals met handschriften: het is van iedereen anders, ook al schrijven we dezelfde woorden.”
