Flori is a 1886 unspecified by Sava Henția, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
This painting shows a loose cluster of flowers in a dark, messy background. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, with bright whites, yellows, and reds standing out against deep browns and blacks. Some petals look almost scratched into the paint, while others blend into the shadows. The flowers don’t form a neat arrangement—they spill out like they were quickly sketched or even tossed onto the canvas. The dark background makes the colors pop, but it’s not polished. Try looking up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Sava Henția (1 February 1848, Sebeșel - 21 February 1904, Sebeșel) was an Imperial Austrian-born Romanian painter, decorator and illustrator.
