A work of profound stillness, where a simple floral arrangement is elevated into a timeless study of form.
Three pink carnations stand in a simple stoneware vase, their delicate forms a quiet counterpoint to a decorative bowl on a dark, draped table. The artist employs a muted, tonalist palette, rendering the scene with a smooth, controlled brushwork that emphasizes the solid, sculptural quality of the objects. This is a painting about quiet observation and the beauty of humble things; every element, from the single fallen petal to the mark on the vase, is treated with equal, meditative gravity.
