About this work

This painting shows a dark vase holding a mix of flowers—three bright pink roses, two white blooms, and some green leaves. The background is bold stripes in red, green, and purple, with a rough, textured look. The brushstrokes are thick, almost like the paint was slapped on. The artist used a lot of color contrast, especially between the flowers and the stripes. The vase looks old and worn, which makes the flowers stand out even more. If you like this style, check out the technique: impasto.
