About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Luis Fuentes brings the tranquil elegance of the Mediterranean to life in this stunning still life. Painted in oil, the piece features a vibrant bouquet of red lilies and soft orange blooms arranged in a blue and white floral vase, resting on a sunlit windowsill. Beyond the open shutters, a serene seascape stretches to the horizon, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and contemplation.
Adding a layer of intellectual intrigue, a book on René Magritte rests beside the vase, its cover reflecting the surrealist master's fascination with light and illusion. This detail bridges the natural beauty of the scene with the conceptual depth of art history, subtly suggesting a dialogue between reality and imagination.
Fuentes expertly contrasts the vivid warmth of the flowers with the cool blues of the sea and sky, using the play of light and shadow to create a composition that feels both alive and serene. The intricate patterns of the vase add a touch of craftsmanship, grounding the composition in Mediterranean artistry. "Mediterranean Breeze" is a celebration of beauty, thoughtfulness, and the timeless charm of coastal living.
Signed, framed, and ready to be displayed, this artwork is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, offering a touch of Mediterranean sophistication to any space.
