Powerful, minimalist floral illustration in white on a warm terracotta red background. The flower - a poppy or related species - is detailed in fine lines, with clear pen strokes reminiscent of traditional etching techniques or botanical engravings. The white outlines and shading create a bright contrast, almost making the flower glow against the deep background colour.
The composition is centred and framed with a subtle white line, which gives it a graphic tranquillity and structure. The few broken lines in the frame enhance the handmade feel of the print. The image exudes a certain timelessness: classic in technique, modern in use of colour.
The work exudes stillness, elegance and precision. It seems to be an ode to simplicity, to the power of line and the beauty of a single petal. The choice of just two colours keeps the focus entirely on the shape and texture of the flower.
