Blue Cornflowers in Blue and Gold with Green Stems - Country Awakening - Cornflower Edition

The visual

Two large cornflowers occupy the composition, their petals spread out in a fan in an intense navy blue that lightens towards a delicate pastel blue . Their hearts, painted in touches ofgolden ochre, bring an unexpected warmth within this cold palette. The background, treated in large areas of turquoise and cream, reveals golden splashes that sparkle like filtered light. Stems of a deep green anchor the composition and guide the eye from bottom to top. The style adopts a graphic rendering where black lines sketched out outline the contour of the petals, superimposed on flat areas of fluid paint. This contrast between the precision of the line and the freedom of the pictorial gesture gives the whole a contemporary energy. The light seems to come from the background, sublimating the bluish nuances of the flowers.
