Chrysanthemum Ivory and Red Tapered Painting - Autumn Breath - Chrysanthemum Edition

The visual

The work features a generous cluster of ivory chrysanthemums with fine, curled petals, occupying the entire upper left third of the composition. Several smaller flowers display an orange and terracottahue, bringing chromatic relief to the right of the painting. The sage green foliage, almost faded, structures the background without ever dominating the flowers. The cream beigebackground, uniform and bright, leaves all the space for the fineness of the petals. The composition is clearly inspired by Japanese botanical art, where each stem seems suspended in an airy space. The subtle shadows on the white petals create a feeling of movement and lightness. The whole exudes an atmosphere that is both precise and vaporous, typical of a careful watercolor.
