Anemones in Contrast

A bold and expressive still life of anemones arranged in a dark, cylindrical vase dominates the composition. The flowers, painted in rich, saturated tones of deep blue, violet, and crimson red, bloom outward with dark centers, capturing a sense of depth and emotion. The petals are broad and simplified, outlined with confident, dark contours that emphasize form over detail.

The background features vertical golden-yellow and dark-purple stripes, adding a rhythmic and graphic element that contrasts with the organic shapes of the flowers. The table or surface is painted in shades of dark burgundy, echoing the richness of the flower hues and anchoring the vase firmly in spaceThe overall style suggests a modernist or expressionist approach, with clear influence from early 20th-century movements such as Fauvism or German Expressionism. The artist emphasizes mood and color contrast over realism, giving the composition an intense, almost meditative quality.
