Blue Flax Tableau in Blue and Ivory with Closed Buds - Row of Slender Stems - Bleuet Edition

The visual

On this panoramic format, several cornflowers unfold in broad pictorial gestures, from the foreground to the more blurred background. The navy blue of the floral hearts contrasts with shades of lavender blue and light violet on the outer petals. The ivory and cream background, treated in soft blocks of color, leaves all the space for the chromatic intensity of the flowers. Stems of a dark, almost black green structure the composition diagonally. The touch is free and expressive, with visible impasto that gives relief to each petal. A few unblown buds bring a breath to the whole. The light seems to come from the front, illuminating the flowers evenly without a marked shadow.
