Chrysanthemum Cream and Midnight Blue Painting with Tight Buds - Intertwined Golden Stems - Chrysanthemum Edition

The visual

The work features several golden chrysanthemums heads with generous and curled petals, spreading on a navy blue almost nocturnal background. The most open flowers occupy the upper part, in shades ranging fromivory toocher gold, while tighter buds appear on the periphery. The foliage, treated in slate blue, is cut out with precision thanks to fine golden lines reminiscent of botanical engravings. The light seems concentrated on the corollas, creating a marked contrast with the dark and uniform background. The thin stems, drawn in a brown and ochre gradation, structure the composition from bottom to top. The style evokes Japanese floral prints, with a concern for detail almost scientific. The whole exudes an elegant sobriety, between naturalism and graphic stylization.
