In this work, the bouquet almost seems to stretch out towards the window visible in the background. The flowers dance from red to pink, from blue to bright yellow. The diversity of shapes and colours gives the feeling of looking at a small garden that fits into a single vase. At the bottom is an opened book, a detail often not noticed until later. For me, that little book is the heart of the work: a hint at reflection, stories and memories.
The inspiration came from classical art rooms in which still lifes often symbolised knowledge, travel experience and inner wealth. I wanted to revive that idea, but with softness and movement. The technique combines paint-like texture with almost tangible petals, making the bouquet seem to break free from its frame.
The atmosphere is calm and contemplative, a mix of daylight and deep colours that has an almost meditative quality. The work invites you to pause for a moment, as if turning a page in your mind. In an interior, it brings that gentle balance between colour and tranquillity, between nature and stories.
