Natură statică cu flori is a 1943 by Alexandru Ciucurencu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a dark blue vase with pale flowers—some white, some pink—sitting on a red table. Next to it is a pink box and a paintbrush with a bit of blue still on it. The background is mostly red, with some green and black shapes that look like leaves or fruit. The brush suggests the artist might’ve been working nearby. The flowers look real but are painted in a loose, almost messy way. If you like this style, check out impasto next—it’s when paint is laid on thick.
