Fleur Deakin – Mixed Media Artist | Industrial Aesthetics & Floral Inspirations
About Fleur
Fleur Deakin is a mixed media artist based in Dortmund, originally from London. Her work is a unique fusion of industrial textures and organic floral elements, creating dynamic contrasts that explore beauty, decay, and transformation. Through layering, abstraction, and material experimentation, Fleur crafts evocative pieces that bridge the natural and mechanical worlds, inviting deeper reflection on the interplay between urban landscapes and nature.

I relocated to Dortmund at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and encountered an industrial landscape from the early 20th century—lifeless walls and streets covered in graffiti. The city exuded a sense of desolation. However, during my solitary walks, I began to observe something unexpected: nature breaking through the cracks, wildflowers and plants defiantly sprouting amidst the remnants of forgotten structures. At that time, the future felt uncertain, with each day bringing new restrictions and challenges. Yet, with every walk, a new splash of color would catch my eye, serving as a quiet rebellion against the urban surroundings. This ongoing discovery became the catalyst for my upcoming series, “Wallflowers”—a collection of mixed media canvases, encased in a clear resin that captures and refracts light in surprising ways.
