The digital artwork "Poppies" shows a vast field of poppies near Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme, bathed in the bright light of a bright blue, cloudless sky. The red flowers sway gently in a light breeze, their delicate leaves a vivid contrast to the fresh green of the grass. On the horizon rise trees, subtly drawn with soft brushstrokes.
The composition immediately evokes memories of the First World War. The poppies are not just flowers; they symbolise the blood of fallen soldiers, a universal sign of remembrance since the poem "In Flanders Fields" by Canadian doctor and poet John McCrae. In this work, the flowers almost seem themselves witnesses of the past, vulnerable but steadfast, reborn on soil once torn by war.
The use of colour enhances the emotional charge: the deep red of the poppies splashes against the clear sky, while soft shadows add depth and melancholy. No human figure is present, so nature itself tells the story - of loss, hope and memory.
"Poppies" invites the viewer to reflect: a silent tribute to those who lost their lives, and at the same time a celebration of resilience and beauty. The artwork poetically connects landscape and history, with the serene scene exuding a deep, understated strength.
