RP- 2D concept drawing

As the beginning of my visual creations that are based off a plant stem, this concept model is representative of Victor Horta's love for nature. The bright yellow background evokes a happy and lively feeling from the viewer and it is the most bold of all the colors. It is the first color that many, if not all people, notice. The shade of orange that twists and turns throughout the design is taken from Horta’s designs, as he often uses curvilinear lines in his architecture. It also stands for the path of life that is found so abundantly in nature as it winds seems to never follow a straight path, always led astray by some other force. The strong gray black lines that are vertical and horizontal are a very literal representation of a stem, as one extends vertically and the other horizontally, for the aspirations and tranquility of nature.
