Floral impressions

by Christian Ovís

‘Floral Impressions’ depicts a lush field of flowers in shades of yellow, pink, orange, white and bright blue. Slender green stems intertwine, bearing flowers of varying heights and sizes. Towards the bottom, the colours are darker and more densely packed; as the composition moves upwards, the flowers become smaller and there is more space between them. A soft cream-yellow background lends the whole a sunny feel.

The composition has a free, impressionistic flow. Loose brushstrokes suggest petals, leaves and small buds without rendering every detail in sharp relief. Light white and yellow flowers stand out against the greenery, whilst blue and pink accents break up the pattern. The alternation between dense foliage and open, light areas gives the field depth. The eye can move calmly between the different groups of flowers.

This colourful floral wall decoration is ideal for a living room, dining room or bedroom where a warm, natural touch is desired. Combine yellow and orange with wood and soft neutral tones; blue and pink can be incorporated into accessories. A light-coloured wall complements the open top of the composition. From a distance, the sunny mass of colour dominates. Up close, the individual stems, small buds and scattered blooms become visible.
