“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” Audrey Hepburn

Earlier this summer, Zabou painted a portrait of the iconic British actress and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn in Brick Lane, London. The portrait is inspired by an amazing photograph taken by Yousuf Karsh in 1960. The artwork depicts Audrey Hepburn looking down, peaceful with a hint of nostalgia, while holding a few tulips. Years ago, a white hybrid variety of the flower was developed in Holland, and its creators named it after the iconic beauty.
