This painting exudes a powerful poetic stillness. Against a dark, almost smoky background, flowers rise, white and silvery, like porcelain chalices catching light in a world of shadow. The flowers seem to float, their stems dissolving in a mist of earthy tones - brown, black and ochre - evoking a sense of transience. The paint treatment is expressive: thick layers of paint contrast with transparent veil-like smudges, as if the artist has allowed the material itself to breathe. The work exudes both strength and fragility; the flowers seem petrified but at the same time full of life. The composition suggests a fragile balance between bloom and decay, between light and dark. The white shapes light up like memories that refuse to disappear. This painting is a meditation on beauty, time and silence - an ode to the fragile resilience of nature and the soul.
