White and Grey Lily Painting with Rust-Colored Stamens - Dense Dark Green Foliage - Lys Edition

The visual

The composition is organized in a vertical cluster, several lilies corollas opening towards the top of the canvas. The petals, painted with a palette knife in generous impasto, reveal touches ofocre and bordeaux at the heart of the flowers, where the stamens laden with pollen catch the light. The background, treated in a range of gris, evokes a worn mineral surface, almost mural, where shards of vert sauge emerge, recalling the foliage. At the base of the bouquet, leaves of a vert profond almost black anchor the composition and create a marked contrast with the clarity of the flowers. The light seems to come from the front, sculpting each petal in reliefs and soft shadows. The pictorial gesture, visible and assumed, gives the whole a sculptural texture. The overall effect recalls a classic still life revisited with a contemporary medium.
