Flower Explosion in Watercolour

by Christian Ovís

‘Flower Explosion in Watercolour’ depicts an airy arrangement of flowers on long, slender stems. A bright red flower at the top and a large orange flower on the left provide warm accents amongst the blue, purple and pink flower heads. Small yellow blossoms and narrow green leaves fill the spaces in between. The stems are closer together at the bottom, whilst the flowers fan out upwards and to the sides against a light background.

The composition has the casual look of a wildflower bouquet. Some petals are clearly defined, whilst others fade into soft, translucent patches of colour. Small dots and paint-like splashes bring the image to life. Dark blue and purple lend depth to the centre; light green and yellow keep the outer edges open. The abundance of white all round prevents the different colours from competing with one another. This allows each flower shape to be appreciated individually.

This colourful floral wall decoration is ideal for a light-coloured living room, bedroom or dining room. The combination of warm and cool colours provides a basis for both wooden furniture and blue or pink textile accents. A neutral wall gives the slender stems and loose flower heads plenty of space. From a distance, the cheerful interplay of colours catches the eye; up close, you can see the delicate branches and tiny flowers amongst the larger forms.
