Over the past few years, paper prices have risen dramatically — almost like gold.

For a long time, I kept my print prices unchanged, as I still had stock from earlier production runs. But recently, when printing new work, I was faced with a decision.

Should I switch to a more affordable paper?

I ordered samples. I compared. I considered.

But from the very beginning of XiXi, I fell in love with Hahnemühle German Etching paper — and nothing else brings out the depth, texture, and quiet beauty of my botanical prints in the same way.

I want you to feel that the moment you hold your print in your hands.
The weight.
The texture.
The quality.

I deeply value sustainability and craftsmanship. And so I chose to continue with the same museum-quality paper — even though it meant adjusting my prices.

Because some things are worth preserving. 🌿

______________________________________________

De papierprijzen zijn de afgelopen jaren sterk gestegen.
Ik heb lang mijn prijzen gelijk gehouden, maar bij nieuwe drukwerken stond ik voor een keuze: overstappen op goedkoper papier of trouw blijven aan mijn kwaliteit.

Vanaf het begin werk ik met Hahnemühle German Etching papier — vanwege de prachtige textuur en diepte die het mijn botanische prints geeft.

Ik kies bewust voor kwaliteit en duurzaamheid.
Ook als dat betekent dat mijn prijzen meebewegen.

Omdat sommige dingen het waard zijn.

Now and then. 🌿

Then — a little girl in the forest, fascinated by leaves, light, and the quiet magic of nature.
Now — still collecting nature’s treasures, bringing them back to my studio to create.

It took me almost 40 years to truly understand it — but nature was always writing my story.

Some things were always meant to stay. 🤍

Nature reminds us to slow down.
Flowers bloom, change, and fade — teaching us presence.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through botanical printmaking, I preserve plants in their fleeting moments and transform their beauty into timeless art.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each piece is hand-printed from flowers and foliage, then released as an original artwork or a limited-edition art print—created to last far beyond a season or a trend.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Quiet beauty.
Preserved nature.
Art for calm living.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
_____________
De natuur nodigt ons uit om te vertragen.
Bloemen bloeien, veranderen en vergaan — en leren ons aanwezig te zijn.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Met botanische printmaking leg ik vergankelijke momenten vast en transformeer ik ze tot tijdloze kunst.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stille schoonheid.
Behouden natuur.
Kunst voor een rustig leven. 🌿

Last week, I was one happy girl to be given the opportunity to work with mimosas. My client holds the fondest memories of mimosas blooming in her grandmother’s garden and wanted to capture these bright, joyful flowers in an artwork.

It was a delight to work with them—their color and scent brought me so much joy. One piece emerged, and my client wrote to me:

[see the reels]

Oh wow! Such kind words. I feel so happy and humbled that I could create this connection through my work. Now we’re deciding on the final details, and soon this beauty will fly to its forever home—to remind my client of her beloved grandmother in the small, everyday moments of life.

Yes—mimosas are beautifully in season. A favourite for many, these bright, fluffy blooms are a wonderful way to bring a touch of sunshine to winter days. 🌼

To keep your mimosas looking their best, place them in a cool area, mist lightly for added humidity, and refresh with lukewarm water. For extra fullness, a small dash of aspirin or a brief steam refresh can help revive their signature fluff. 💛

A personal note: I love mimosas just as much when they naturally soften—when their fluff fades and their vibrant yellow mellows into a more muted, elegant tone.

This is not art to decorate your wall.
This is botanical art with soul.

Created from real plants, hand-printed slowly and seasonally, and made with intention —
each piece carries a story, waiting to find its forever home.

Dit is geen kunst om alleen je muur te decoreren.
Dit is botanische kunst met een ziel.

Gemaakt van echte planten, langzaam en seizoensgebonden met de hand gedrukt, en met aandacht gecreëerd —
elk werk draagt een verhaal in zich, wachtend op zijn forever home.

Hello and welcome to my little corner of Instagram. I’m Zizi 🤍

My journey with flowers began many years ago as a florist, but my love for them slowly grew into something deeper. I longed to give flowers a life beyond the vase.

Today, I create slowly and seasonally, hand-printing botanical and floral artworks using fresh flowers and leaves. I also host workshops in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland—offering a mindful, creative pause for nature lovers, flower admirers, and calm seekers to slow down, reconnect, and simply create.

My work is inspired by nature, simple beauty, and a timeless aesthetic. Each print is one of a kind, just like nature itself—delicate, wild, imperfect, and beautiful.

Rooted in slow living, sustainability, and the quiet magic of nature, I share prints, petals, moments from where I call home, travels, and life with my fluffy friend 🐶

Thank you for being here 🤍 I never take it for granted, and I hope this space gives you reasons to stay.

Mijn liefde voor bloemen begon als bloemist, maar groeide al snel uit tot iets diepers — een verlangen om bloemen een leven voorbij de vaas te geven. Vandaag werk ik langzaam en seizoensgebonden, met handgedrukte botanische prints van verse bloemen en bladeren.

Geïnspireerd door natuur, eenvoud en tijdloze schoonheid deel ik hier mijn werk, workshops, momenten van thuis en onderweg — en het leven met mijn fluffy vriend 🐶

Dank je wel dat je hier bent 🤍

What’s blooming these days? ✨
Witch hazel.

One of nature’s quiet surprises — witch hazel blooms in late winter, when most plants are still resting. Its delicate, ribbon-like flowers appear on bare branches, reminding us that beauty doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.

It’s a gentle invitation to slow down.
To look closely.
To notice what’s quietly blooming around you — even in unexpected moments.

What have you noticed blooming lately? 🌿

How strange that feeling is — when time seems to have flown by…
and then you pause, reflect, and realise how beautifully — and exactly as it was meant to — time has unfolded. 🌙

January quietly held so much:
1. Stepping back into the studio for the first time this year

2. Grey skies calling in bold, popping colour

3. Snow falling softly outside the studio window

4. Sharing a joyful giveaway with this little corner of Instagram

5. Being gently guided by the new moon, as always

6. Our first botanical printmaking workshop — now already feeling like a sweet dream

7. The beginning of something new: Bloom Mastermind, a gentle space for women in business to grow, reflect, and bloom together.

8. Taking myself on a slow, grounding nature date 🌿

9. And feeling something shift — what felt blocked for a while suddenly opening into a new wave of inspiration ✨

Some months don’t shout.
They whisper, soften, and realign you.

And this one did exactly that. 🌿

Every print begins long before the studio.
It begins outside.

In nature — walking, observing, breathing.
Looking for calm. Looking for inspiration.
Carrying flowers back to the studio, knowing nothing is guaranteed.

Printing with fresh flowers is never easy.
Especially when the flower itself already feels perfect.
Some resist.
Some fail.
Some leave no trace at all.

There are many attempts.
Many quiet disappointments.
And then — sometimes — one imprint stands out.

From countless tries, only four spring blossoms emerged.
Blackthorn 🌸
Two sizes.
Each one unique.

This is the magic for me —
capturing something fleeting
and giving it a second life to cherish and last.

Make a wish — the calmest moment of the week found me on my way to the train station. A new moon rising over the Mariakerk.

Take a moment, if you like, to spot that flickering petite lumière.

Hello, I’m Zizi 🌿
A former florist turned botanical artist, endlessly inspired by flowers and the quiet beauty of nature.
I create handmade botanical prints using fresh flowers and leaves, giving them a lasting life on paper, canvas, and textiles.
Each piece is one of a kind—slow-made and rooted in calm, joy, and simplicity.

Based in Europe, you’ll often find me in nature collecting botanicals, printing, and creating beautiful messes.
Here I also share glimpses of my everyday life, travels, and my fluffy friend 🐾—a life lived gently and intentionally.

Thank you for being here and for supporting my journey 🤍

P.S. This photo is an oldie but a goldie, captured by my lovely friend @visible_by_erna . We should refresh my photos sometime 😊

Nature doesn’t rush.
Neither do I.

From real plants to timeless prints — created slowly, intentionally, and with deep respect for nature.

This is botanical art designed to be cherished and last. 🌿

People often ask me how often a print turns out exactly as planned.
Printmaking is simple, but not predictable.
It takes skill, experience, and a willingness to let go.

Flowers teach me that I don’t control everything —
and that’s where the beauty is.

One of my favorite flowers blooming right now,
Hellebores arrived quietly, without asking for attention but then they deserve all the attention.

A small reminder to pause and enjoy what’s here, fully and slowly.

Hard to believe it’s been 6.5 years
since I started this journey.
It feels like much less—maybe because
I’ve changed countries twice,
moved four times,
and switched studio spaces along the way.

So much has changed, yet what remains constant is my love for nature and my passion for creating and finding inspiration.

Gifting ✨

Do you see that wall of art?
That was the autumn–winter exhibition for the new studio. Soon, this space will hold new prints for spring and summer.

Instead of storing these pieces, I’m gifting 7 artworks (framed) from this wall, valued at ~€700.
The winner can choose their favorites — including one original print on canvas.

Before I share the rules, I want to be clear about one thing:

I’ll only go ahead with this giveaway if there’s real engagement — meaning lots of people participate (not just 40–50). As much as I’d love to gift regardless, I’m doing this to help my business grow and create new opportunities.

So, if you love nature, flowers, and slow-made art, and would like to bring that energy into your space — this is your moment 🌿

How to participate:
• Comment why you should receive this gift
• Tag as many people as you like
• Follow my account (and I hope you stay even after this 💛)

Details:
• Open to Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, France, Denmark & the UK
• Shipping costs are on me
• This is my giveaway, and I’ll choose the winner intuitively — no random or automated selection, but guided by emotion and intuition
• The winner will be notified by DM on the last day of January

I hope you join and get a chance to win this beautiful, nature-inspired, timeless wall art ✨

Less fluff, more reality.
Things aren’t as easy or fun as they once were.

Instagram has become a very challenging place for me—it feels like I work for it, instead of it working for my business. Everything feels overwhelming: reaching new people, navigating crowded markets, I’m shifting direction slightly, with no solid plans for the year ahead.

I do have a few sparks of inspiration calling me to bring them to life, and I’m choosing to follow those and see where they lead. That’s where I’ll put my energy and let the year unfold.

Bring it on, 2026. ✨

Six years to arrive here.
Not rushed. Not random. Right on time.

I didn’t chase numbers — I chose slow growth.
Patience. Resilience. Courage. Grace.

Grateful for the pace, the lessons, and the people who stayed.
As this year closes, I’m carrying clarity and quiet courage into what’s next.

Merry Everything, Happy Always
May the new year be gentle and true ✨

If this made you pause,

Whether they arrived alone or with a friend, everyone left with a big smile and a full heart.
Because in the end, it’s never just about the piece you create — it’s about the connection.
The connection with your inner self, with the person quietly creating beside you, and with your own creativity gently unfolding. 🌿

Give yourself (or someone you love) the gift of a workshop to begin the new year with intention, inspiration, and creativity.

Nature lovers, flower admirers, calm seekers… this one is for you. 🍃✨

If you find beauty in the quiet details — petals, textures, winter light, the way nature slows us down — you’ll feel at home here.

In this studio, we create gently.
We breathe deeper.
We reconnect with the simple, grounding magic of botanical art.

If this speaks to your heart, come find me — here in this little corner of the internet or in my Utrecht studio. 🌿🤍

👉 Save this to return to when you need a moment of calm.

👉 Follow for botanical art, nature-led creativity & slow living inspiration.#naturelovers #flowerlovers #slowliving #botanicalart #botanicalprintmaking #utrechtcreatives #gentlemoments #creativereels

Winter light. So beautiful, so fleeting, so precious. 🍃✨
We’re counting down to the longer days… but until then, there is a quiet kind of magic in what surrounds us — abundant, gentle, patient.

All it asks of us is to slow down.
To notice.
To receive.

And in that stillness, the smallest moments become the most priceless joys.

Wishing you a soft, nourishing, and restful Sunday. 🤍

✨✨ A little blooming love for the winter season ✨✨
Our Botanical Minis have quietly returned to the shop, arriving just in time for the gentle pace of the holidays.

Created with care for nature lovers and admirers of handcrafted beauty, each piece is a one-of-a-kind artwork—small in size, but rich in spirit.

May these tiny botanicals offer a moment of calm, a soft breath of color, and a touch of warmth to your home or to someone dear.

Follow the piece that whispers to you, and let it find its place with you.

Ohh, what an amazing experience it was! I spent a week in Thailand celebrating my lifelong friend’s birthday. I’m so grateful and honored to have been invited—and proud of the courage I found in myself to go. I gave myself laughter, love, sharing, and a truly unforgettable experience.

‘Little Joys’ the Botanical Minis

✨ Each year, I create a “minis” collection around this time — and this year, there will be only about 20 pieces. Between moving studios, traveling, and preparing for the festive season, that’s all I could carve out — but I loved creating each one just the same.

This year’s minis are called Little Joys — a gentle reminder to keep noticing the small, quiet moments of happiness during the gloomy, dark days of winter, or simply in life.

Thank you, as always, for being here and supporting my work.

The Little Joys collection is now live, and I hope one of these pieces brings a bit of light to your days.
