Transient Bloom

An exploration of texture and floral form on cotton canvas. The work depicts peonies in bloom using a heavy impasto technique.

Sculptural brushstrokes create physical volume, allowing white and pale pink oil pigments to interact with light. The contrast between deep shadows and light petals emphasizes the tactile texture of the flowers against a minimal background. A study of natural fragility through the weight and permanence of oil paint.
