Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artist’s estate and have had no previous owners at all. Description: This striking still life titled “Fleurs” presents a bouquet of peach, coral, and rose-pink blooms arranged in a rounded blue vase against a delicately painted pale green backdrop. With its confident impasto technique and abstracted handling, this work evokes both softness and vibrancy, inviting the viewer into a moment of quiet beauty. The artist employs a heavily textured application of oil paint, where brush marks and palette knife work create rich surface depth. The flowers—loosely identifiable as roses or garden blossoms—are not rendered with botanical precision but rather through expressive colour placement and spontaneous gesture. The foliage is suggested in dark olive and forest greens, with accents of burgundy and ochre providing warmth and tonal contrast. The blue ceramic vase is given weight and presence through its sculptural build-up of paint, grounded on a lightly sketched surface. Meanwhile, the background is painted in calming green-grey tones, with lavender, blush, and pale turquoise flecks breaking through, adding atmosphere and a sense of dimension. While modest in subject, this piece captures the essence of French still life painting—an appreciation of everyday beauty interpreted through colour, texture, and emotional spontaneity. It would suit both traditional and contemporary interiors, appealing to collectors of floral works, decorative modernism, or textural impressionist styles.
