About the Item

Work on cardboard Gray wooden frame 52 x 44 x 5.5 cm This work of art is a striking still life where vibrancy of color and expressive texture take the foreground. The painting features a delicately carved vase, overflowing with flowers of all kinds. White daisies, vibrant cornflowers and deep red flowers create a harmonious contrast that immediately captures attention. The artist uses a vigorous brushstroke technique, giving palpable movement to the composition. The background blends into shades of gray and beige, which highlights the richness of the floral hues. The soft light bathes the scene, accentuating the reliefs and bringing a warm atmosphere to the whole. At the bottom, a piece of red fabric is laid out casually, while a yellow object adds an element of surprise and balance to the picture. These details contribute to a careful composition, where each element seems chosen with precise intention. The work is notable for its ability to evoke a feeling of spontaneity while maintaining a carefully thought-out structure, thus illustrating undeniable artistic mastery. This painting not only depicts flowers, it captures the very essence of their ephemeral beauty.
