Josyan also finds her artistic flow within her imagined semi-abstracted landscape and botanical artwork. Her fields of flowers are her interpretation of how mother nature flawlessly plays with colour. Her love for trees remains a recurring theme within her work.
Her style is intuitive, textural, vibrant and welcoming. She explores hard and soft contrasts using her jewel-toned colour palette as her way to express her love of nature.
She experiments with various media which include watercolour, gouache, acrylic ink, acrylic paint, pastels (both oil and soft) as well as colour pencils and paint markers.
