About the artwork

"Abstract Bloom" is a playful and expressive composition that combines natural growth and artistic freedom. The artist captures the essence of a field of flowers, but lets go of reality to make room for imagination. The shapes seem to refer to stems, leaves and flowering calyces, but at the same time hover between recognisability and abstraction.

The painting is composed of flowing lines and transparent areas of colour in shades of purple, green, red, orange and brown. These colours overlap and blend subtly, as if they have found each other organically. The thin, vertical lines are reminiscent of stems stretching out from the earth into the light, while the more jagged, spot-like shapes at the top evoke a sense of movement and growth.

Between the colour areas, graphic patterns and grid-like structures are visible, providing an intriguing contrast to the soft watercolour-like transitions. These patterns add a rhythmic, almost musical dimension to the work - as if nature here is not only growing, but also singing.

The brown and olive-green leaves dancing scattered throughout the composition reinforce the idea of natural abundance and cyclical renewal. Yet there remains room for interpretation: is this a garden in bloom, an inner landscape, or the abstract translation of growth and change itself?

"Abstract Bloom" invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty of the organic, the spontaneous and the imperfect - an ode to the continuous flowering that takes place in nature as well as in the human spirit. Modern Abstract
