Beside the Plant depicts a moment of stillness, a silent dialogue between man and nature. A woman sits quietly at the edge of a table, her posture relaxed but thoughtful. Beside her is a large plant in a striped pot - simple but monumental in presence. The composition is bright and balanced, built from soft planes of colour: powder pink, deep blue and the warm green of the leaves.
The plant seems more than just a decorative element; it acts as a silent witness, a symbol of growth, time and breath. The figure is not under or behind, but beside the plant - equal, in harmony. This subtle juxtaposition is at the heart of the work: the encounter between man and environment without hierarchy or haste.
In the emptiness around the figure, there is a calm, but also a gentle tension. As if time stands still for a moment, exactly at that point where thinking turns into feeling. Next to the Plant invites the viewer to slow down for a moment - to be present without having to do anything. Modern Abstract.
