About the Artist
Mr. Flower Fantastic is one of the most in-demand floral artists in the world, known for transforming flowers into bold, sculptural works that blend art, fashion, and pop culture.
He grew up in Queens, New York, where his love of flowers began in his mother’s garden. Over time, he taught himself floral design and began experimenting across creative mediums, eventually merging his passion for sneakers with his floral work. His signature mask and gloves, originally worn to manage his allergy to flowers, became part of his identity, allowing the focus to stay on the art rather than the artist.
Before gaining widespread attention, Mr. Flower Fantastic built his reputation through private commissions and flower trade shows. His breakout moment came in 2018, when Serena Williams’ team invited him to create a floral interpretation of her Nike “QUEEN” Air Max 97, designed by Virgil Abloh. He presented the large-scale floral sculpture to Williams during the U.S. Open—an instant cultural moment that propelled him into the spotlight.
Since then, he has collaborated with major brands and cultural institutions including Nike, Netflix, Adidas, Louis Vuitton, NBC Sports, Samsung, ESPN, and 1800 Tequila. His projects have ranged from large-scale installations and fan-focused activations to sustainability-driven artworks and collectible design pieces.
Mr. Flower Fantastic is driven by a joyful, optimistic belief in the power of flowers to uplift, inspire, reconnect us to nature, and encourage a greener future. That vision comes fully to life in his 2026 exhibition at the New York Botanical Garden, The Orchid Show: Mr. Flower Fantastic’s Concrete Jungle—a vibrant celebration of New York City and the extraordinary beauty that can bloom in even the most unexpected places.
