About the Item

Work on canvas Molded frame in gilded wood Dimensions with frame : 60 x 51.5 x 4 cm This work evokes a vibrant and textured scene, imbued with captivating emotional depth. In the center of the painting, a richly decorated vase immediately attracts attention. Its intricate surface is enhanced with pops of color that capture the light in an almost hypnotic way, creating a striking contrast against the dark background. Around the vase, a floral arrangement blossoms with a profusion of dynamic colors. The flowers, painted with a bold, gestural technique, seem almost alive, overflowing from the frame of the vase and invading the surrounding space. Shades of reds, yellows and blues blend together harmoniously, while retaining their uniqueness. On the right, an intriguing detail catches the eye: a map or document whose text remains ambiguous, but which contributes to the mysterious atmosphere of the painting. Its discreet presence adds a narrative dimension, inviting the viewer to imagine the story behind this composition. The color palette, primarily dominated by earth tones of red and brown, is deftly balanced by bursts of bright hues, infusing energy and movement into the work. The pictorial technique, with its impasto brushstrokes and rich texture, gives the work a warm and enveloping materiality. As a whole, this painting is a celebration of life and matter, a tribute to the expressive power of color and form. Each element, although potentially chaotic, combines into a harmonious visual symphony, making this work unforgettable.
