Serenity of Sakura

by Christian Ovís

‘Serenity of Sakura’ depicts a round, light-coloured vase containing white blossom branches on a dark wooden shelf. On the right are two small bowls in shades of grey and cream. The branches spread upwards and out to both sides, bearing open flowers and small buds. The background is a warm grey. In the top left-hand corner hangs a simple shelf with a light-coloured rectangular object.

The composition has a calm, horizontal basis. The round vase forms the main focal point and is echoed on a smaller scale by the small bowls. The delicate branches lend an airy quality to the upper part of the composition. Subtle horizontal lines across the vase add extra detail without disrupting the soft colour palette. Light from the left emphasises the white flowers and rounded shapes, whilst soft shadows lend depth. The open arrangement leaves space between the objects and branches.

This neutral floral wall decoration suits a Japandi, Scandinavian or minimalist interior. Grey, cream and brown combine with wood and natural tones. The piece would be suitable for a living room, dining room or quiet workspace. A plain wall complements the simple composition. From a distance, the vase and the broad bouquet stand out. Up close, the flower centres, small buds and soft lines on the small bowls become visible.
