Description
Textured flower in a vase is an original work created with acrylic and textured collage on canvas board (2026, Minusio, Switzerland). The maximum external dimensions, including the black frame, are 20 × 26 cm.
In this small format, acrylic paint combines with three-dimensional fabric elements to create a flower with a strong, tactile presence. The light background, worked with soft brushstrokes, highlights the essential silhouette of the vase and stem, while the petals and leaves are constructed with shreds of crumpled canvas, soaked in glue and modeled directly onto the surface, forming evident reliefs that invite the eye to capture light, shadows, and thickness. The wide, solid vase supports a large, open corolla in warm, metallic tones, recalling the idea of a precious flower, almost a botanical jewel suspended against a silent background.
The acrylic paint, applied in glazes and more opaque touches, emphasizes the textured structure of the modeled canvas, bringing out golden and copper reflections on the flower and small bright spots on the green-gold leaves, as if the plant were dotted with light. The folds of the hardened fabric create a vertical rhythm that guides the eye from the vase to the leaves and up to the corolla, transforming this simple subject into a symbol of growth and resilience. The painting, sold with a black frame that borders and strengthens the composition, is designed as a contemporary and refined accent, ideal for bringing a single iconic flower into modern environments, entryways, small hallways, or as an element to be paired with other textured works from the same series.
