Flowers 1

This exuberant floral still life is constructed as a single, centrifugal burst—petals and leaves flung outward in thick, decisive strokes that turn the bouquet into an event rather than an arrangement. The palette pivots between sunlit yellows, ardent reds, and cool, anchoring blues in the vase, creating a push–pull of heat and calm that mimics the pulse of living growth. Light is not described so much as performed through impasto and exposed gesture, where the paint’s physicality becomes a metaphor for abundance—beauty arriving in excess, unruly and immediate. In the midst of this controlled turbulence, the vase functions as a quiet gravity, suggesting how fragile containment holds together the riot of color we call vitality.
