FLOWERS
1977, 40x50cm, Tempera on canvas with glossy fixative
The simplicity of a bouquet of flowers reminds us not to always worry about how we will manage, how we will survive. There is someone who thinks of them, and it is the same for us.
The work “Flowers,” created in 1977 with tempera on canvas and glossy fixative, is a painting that celebrates the beauty and simplicity of nature. The bouquet of flowers, the absolute protagonist of the scene, stands out for the delicacy of the white daisies with golden centers and small blue flowers, which stand out against the blurred green background.
Composition and atmosphere:
The artist has chosen to represent a bouquet that seems almost to float, as if suspended in an atmosphere of serenity. The daisies, with their light petals and curved stems, give a sense of naturalness and spontaneity, while the blue flowers, with their intense tone, add a touch of depth and contrast. On the right side, small pink buds add further sweetness to the composition. The background, with its blended brushstrokes of green and yellow, creates a soft and enveloping effect, highlighting the flowers and amplifying the sense of harmony. The use of light is delicate: the light shadows and barely hinted reflections give three-dimensionality without weighing down the scene.
Meaning and conveyed sensation:
The painting conveys a sense of peace and lightness, an invitation to pause for a moment and appreciate the small things in life. The choice to paint wildflowers, rather than more elaborate compositions, recalls a concept of simplicity and trust, as suggested by the artist’s reflection: we do not always have to worry about everything, because there exists a natural balance that takes care of us, just as happens for flowers.
Conclusion:
“Flowers” is one of those works that, once hung on the wall, accompany our daily life with discretion and sweetness. Its presence in a domestic environment brings a touch of serenity and warmth, like a silent reminder of the beauty that surrounds us.
