Knight in the Cherry Blossoms - Surreal Flower Bear Style signed painting print by Riccoboni

Some of my Flower Bears come to life in my science-fiction story Knights of the Vermillion Rose. In Knight in the Cherry Blossoms, I painted Merkirr, another of the stowaways aboard the spaceship. This portrait brings a character from my novel into a world of blossoms and color.

I painted him with swept-back dark hair, a full beard, and his gaze turned to the side. Pink and cream cherry blossoms frame his bare torso, with dark branches and patches of blue behind him. Warm peach and gold tones meet violet shadows across his figure. I love the contrast between his strong presence and the soft blooms that surround him.

With this signed print, you can bring a piece of my story into your home. Whether you’re following the stowaways’ journey or discovering my Flower Bears for the first time, Merkirr’s portrait offers a meeting of science fiction, floral art, and the human figure.
