Ana Bianchi

Ana told us how a Bootcamp Mini assignment on combining colors blew up into a year-long personal project called Color/Flora, which has now appeared in Uppercase magazine and is being turned into a book pitch.

Some of Ana’s Color/Flora palettes, inspired by a Bootcamp Mini assignment.

Ana told us: “I have always loved color. I always have my eyes open for interesting color combinations but this simple exercise clicked in a very special manner and I have since become my favorite color combo method and has stretched my range of use of color.”

Ana continues: “I’ve been doing Bootcamp for four years! For Bootcamp in 2020, Lilla gave us a Mini assignment all about color: we had to gather random stuff, group it and then make a color palette based on that. I gathered geraniums and other flowers that were blooming in my garden. I loved the assignment so much, so I did a few more. Then covid lockdown came and I decided to just continue making them. Through five seasons, from Spring 2020 to Spring 2021, I harvested color from my yard using anything that grew, bloomed, fruited or dried and decayed within my fence. I have hundreds of images and so far have made 100 color palettes.”

Ana continues: “My Color/Flora project was recently published in Uppercase magazine and is now almost pitch ready to send out to publishers in the hope it can become a color book useful for artists, graphic designers, illustrators, and also for floral, interior design and even wedding planners! The colors and flowers from Color/Flora are also serving as a base for big branding project I started working on last year that will feature my art on a very large scale. Unfortunately I cannot share anything about this just yet, maybe in 2023!”
