Olive, 2024

This original illustration belongs to the Old but Gold duo — a small, intimate reflection on endurance and grace. In Olive, calmness unfolds through the repetition of leaves and fruits — a timeless emblem of peace, wisdom, and continuity. Hand-drawn in ink and adorned with 24k gold leaf, the piece evokes balance and stillness — a celebration of life’s quieter forms of strength.

In this intimate duo, Anni revisits her roots in botanical illustration while exploring the quiet luxury of simplicity — where form, texture, and light converge to evoke balance and expansion. Old but Gold reflects on what endures: character, meaning, and craftsmanship. Both pieces — Protea and Olive — were created through slow, meditative drawing processes, combining Indian ink with 24k gold leaf on warm, earth-toned paper. The result is a dialogue between rawness and refinement, shadow and shine. Together, they form a harmonic statement about endurance: what withers, what remains, and what still glows beneath the passage of time.
