Lush Field II

by Tiara Kroes

A colourful, expressive abstract painting in which the exuberance of nature comes to life. Deep shades of green, warm red, bright pink, turquoise, violet and sunny yellow combine to form a vibrant composition full of movement, contrast and surprising details.

In the lower part of the painting, a lush world of organic forms unfolds. Powerful, layered brushstrokes are reminiscent of leaves, wild flowers and dense vegetation. Small yellow and orange accents stand out against the dark green and warm red, as if flowers were springing up everywhere.

Higher up in the composition, the compact structures give way to larger, flowing areas of colour. Bright blue forms move between deep green and exuberant magenta. Small dark circles, whimsical contours and unexpected colour transitions lend the work a playful, almost fantastical character.

This expressive, layered abstract painting has a distinctly botanical feel, without losing the freedom of abstraction. The combination of intense colours and natural forms brings energy, warmth and vibrancy to an interior.

The painting stands alone as a work of art, but is also available as part of a diptych, together with *Where Nature Comes to Life – Part 1*. Both works complement each other in colour, composition and atmosphere, and together form a particularly colourful whole.
