Azaleas Orange and Yellow with Red Buds - Grey Glass Background - Azalea Edition

The visual

The composition features a branch of flowering azalea, cut out against a grey-blue background evoking a window in the background. The unfolded petals vary between warm orange and golden yellow, while the still-closed buds display a deep red almost brown hue. The pictorial style, close to oil painting, plays on broad and impastoed touches that give relief to the corollas. The long white and yellow stamens stretch with grace, adding an airy dimension to the whole. The foliage, sketched in a tender yellow on the left, balances the main floral mass. The light seems to come from behind, making some petals almost translucent. This contrast between a cold background and a warm bouquet structures the entire visual force of the work.
