Arrangement in Pink and Green
Acrylic on Canvas
For several years, Michael Harnish has collaborated with Yasmine Mei, drawing inspiration from her floral arrangements. His interest in painting flowers was first sparked by encountering the work of 19th-century painter Fantin-Latour at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. Building on this lineage while forging a new approach, Harnish paints florals on a larger-than-life scale, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the intricacies of each arrangement. In magnifying his subject, he opens up a space where abstraction emerges — leaves, petals, and stems transforming into fields of rhythm and movement.
Through this scale and approach, Harnish shifts the familiar genre of floral painting into something unexpected, allowing the recognizable to dissolve into mystery. These works extend beyond representation, offering a sophisticated reimagining of a timeless subject, where the delicate and ephemeral become both monumental and enduring.

About the Artist
Michael Harnish
Recently featured in Architectural Digest, Michael Harnish begins his painting process by first making paper collages, utilizing imagery pulled from various sources including botanical books, fashion magazines, and commercial signage in his native Southern California. These collages then become the inspiration for his paintings—sometimes accurate depictions of the original collage, other times improvisation takes the lead once the brush hits the canvas. Flora takes a central role in Harnish’s works, with local cactus and agave played off tropical plants and grocery store orchids—combining a high/low aesthetic in an exhilarating synthesis. Harnish has exhibited widely through out Southern California and in London.
