Flower power and passion is what this abstract yet realistic piece exudes: Artful and creative in terms of technique, exuberant, expressive, powerful and fiery in terms of colours. And yet this collage is brilliantly balanced. This work, a collage + mixed media, is composed of clippings taken from an advertising brochure of a renowned Scandinavian fashion brand, which have been inserted, added and pasted on top of each other like puzzle pieces. This created a colourful whole that incorporates images of different types of flowers. Central are the large peonies, surrounded by flowering branches and fresh green leaves, folkloric floral motifs in red, pink and orange. In terms of colour combination, perhaps a bold combination but anything goes in nature! Depth is created by the dark blue shadows. The draperies in purple, aqua and green against an ochre background complete the bouquet and add a touch of drama. Painting over the pasted collage pieces with acrylic paint and drawing in white, red and aqua shades creates a decorative dynamic still life, baroque in atmosphere and a feast for the eyes! An eye-catcher with passion in both classic and modern interiors! Highly recommended for your interior. Thea Bouwman
