Blue Cornflower Blue and Turquoise Painting with Spiky Petals - Reeds in Background - Blue Cornflower Edition

The visual

The composition features a single cornflower with petals spread in sharp points, treated in shades of navy blue and turquoise. The dark heart of the flower contrasts strongly with the streaks of light that run through its tapered petals. Around it, a background of tall green stems and blurred flower buds creates a plant depth, playing on tones of sage green and pale yellow. The pictorial touch is frank, almost carved with a knife, giving a textured relief to the whole. Touches of golden light pierce in places, suggesting sunlight filtering through the grasses. The black stem of the flower traces a vertical line that anchors the composition. The whole evokes a resolutely modern style, between figuration and vegetal abstraction.
