About this work

This painting shows three flowers in bright, uneven colors—yellow, pink, and purple—set against a dark, almost black background. The petals look thick and rough, with some spots of green and red mixed in. The brushstrokes are bold, almost messy, making the flowers pop against the gloomy backdrop. The dark background makes the colors stand out even more, like the flowers are glowing. The way the paint is applied looks rough, almost like it was done quickly or with thick layers. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
