Flori de liliac is a 1931 unspecified by Nennovici Aurelia, depicting Flower, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a close-up of a yellowish-green curtain or cloth draped over something dark. Behind it, there’s a cluster of purple flowers with white centers, and a few green leaves. The brushstrokes on the curtain are thick and uneven, almost like texture you could feel. The flowers look a little messy, almost like they were painted quickly. The curtain’s folds are rough, with some paint scraping off in spots. If you like this style, check out impasto.
Aurelia Nennovici covered walls in her Bucharest apartment with lilacs every spring, then painted them before they wilted—thick, bruise-purple blooms that stayed wet on the canvas for days.
