Stone Meets Petals: 15 Times Belgian Florist Geoffroy Mottart Gave Statues A Blooming Personality
In the bustling heart of Belgium, where the old-world charm of classical sculpture meets the fresh pulse of contemporary art, one florist is quietly transforming the way we see public monuments. Meet Geoffroy Mottart, a Brussels-based floral designer whose unique project, Fleurissements, reimagines stoic stone statues by adorning them with whimsical, blooming arrangements. His floral interventions bring a surprising softness to hard, forgotten faces—breathing new life into monuments most people walk past without a second glance.
Mottart’s creations aren’t just decorative. They’re part street art, part botanical love letter—meant to stir emotion, draw attention, and start conversations. By placing vibrant flower crowns and lush beards on worn and weathered busts across Belgium, he invites viewers to notice the beauty of these overlooked public sculptures—and maybe, to look a little closer at the world around them.
Here are some moments where Geoffroy Mottart’s floral artistry gave statues a whole new personality.
