Orange and Yellow Flowers on a Grey-Blue Background - Long Curved White Stamens - Azalea Edition

The visual

The composition features a branch of azaleas deployed horizontally on a blue-grey background perfectly uniform, which accentuates by contrast the intensity of the flowers. The petals decline a rich palette ranging from golden yellow tobright orange, up to touches of terracotta red on the still-closed buds. The pictorial gesture is frank and gestural, almost sketched in places, giving a almost tactile texture to the petals. Long white and cream stamens escape from the flowers, adding lightness and movement to the whole. The light seems to come from behind, making the veins of the finest petals appear. The discreet green nuances on the leaves on the left balance the dominant warmth of the scene. The whole exudes a solar energy while maintaining a refined pictorial elegance.
