Description
18,5 x 26,5
Oil on cardboard
It was part of the Kumbetlian collection.
The work by artist Stavru Tarasov depicts a classic subject – a vase of flowers – which is approached in an expressive manner, emphasizing texture and color. Although the work does not have a specific name, the composition and execution offer some interesting details that are worth analyzing. The subject of flowers in a vase is a traditional motif of static nature (the “still life” style), often used to explore the ephemeral beauty of nature and to convey the intimacy of the scene. In this work, the flowers – most likely pansies – are depicted in a semi-impressionistic style, emphasizing their fragility and organic texture.
Cool tones dominate, such as the blue and green of the background, which provide a subtle contrast to the warm shades of purple and yellow in the flower petals. The colors are layered, creating an effect of depth and dimension, typical of painters working in thick paste.
