Flori is a 1949 unspecified by Elena Popea, held at Cotroceni National Museum.
This painting shows a green vase holding a loose bouquet of flowers. The blooms are mostly white and yellow, with a few red spots on the petals. The background is a mix of dark blues and soft browns, with brushstrokes that look thick and textured. The artist used bold strokes to make the flowers pop against the darker background. The way the paint is applied gives the flowers a lively, almost three-dimensional look. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works.
