A blue vase with a floral pattern holds a bunch of tulips—some dark purple, one bright red. The stems and leaves are painted in quick green strokes. Below the vase, a few round fruits sit on a dark surface, their colors warm and soft. The brushstrokes are loose and fast, like the artist worked quickly. The tulips aren’t perfectly shaped—they feel alive, not polished. Want to see more work like this? Check out Avakian, Hrandt.
