This painting, in the style of the Dutch masters, combines the classical beauty of a floral still life with a contemporary and surprising element: a high, sensual heel. The painting centres on a vase of voluptuous flowers, beautifully highlighted by the masterful use of light and shadow. The flowers, with their lush petals and rich colours, seem almost tangible, as if they have just been picked and their freshness is still palpable. Deep red roses, soft peonies and delicate lilies fill the vase, with each flower showing its own texture and shape, subtly shimmering in the soft, golden light that seems to fall through an invisible source.
On the table below the flowers, however, is an intriguing modern object: shiny red high heels. The contrast between the timeless elegance of the flowers and the sensual, contemporary heel is striking. The heel, with its streamlined shape and shiny leather, adds an unexpected and bold twist to the classic scene. The play of light and shadow on the leather echoes the craftsmanship of the Dutch masters, while the heel brings a playful tension to the painting.
This subtle mix of old and new gives the work a unique character, where tradition and modernity come together in an elegant and refined composition.
