Flora Series
Deconstruction
“Deconstruction” joyfully dismantles the traditional floral still life, reassembling it through a highly tactile, heavy impasto technique. Luminous sunflowers and vibrant accent blooms burst outward against a swirling, tumultuous background of deep cerulean and teal. The thick, sculptural application of paint invites the viewer to experience the floral arrangement as raw, energetic texture rather than mere delicate representation. Grounded by the stark, geometric contrast of a boldly striped red-and-white foreground, the composition brilliantly juxtaposes organic chaos with structural rigidity, resulting in a dynamic celebration of vivid color and the sheer physical power of the medium.
