Bouquet “Ice Cream” (Gratitude)

Painting
September 2024

Passion of life symbolized by blooming flowers. 🌻

Observations of still life are the first steps before any commentary in forms of art. Looking at the inner and outer circles of flowers symbolises and expands to neighborhood, to personal relations, to love of course. drawing flowers which i do again and again, is the meaning of understanding the cycles of life, the essence of it. Each bouquet tells a story, mood, situation. It’s not dictating the viewer  but giving him the space to feel and understand it according to him, her feelings and understanding.

It even gives me the right energy and even the permission to create feelings via symbolizing, connections and the tension of the arrangements of the leaves, of the crowns and of the blossom.

Drawing flowers is like the cover up for deeper expression about inward to the outward feelings and experiences.

In this specific painting the hidden ice cream is like the joker, so the viewer can take it as he likes. The main bouquet opens the heart with the sexy lilies that want to grasp life, caressing and smiling and giving hope. It’s a symbolic bouquet of gratitude for being alive and with your loved ones, in troubled time like now.
