"Gentle but edgy, simplicity and calm: A thistle" is a macro photo of a thistle flower, on a white reflective background. This ground has a texture that gives it a picturesque reflection.
As there is a "light space" around the thistle, a sense of calm and space is created.
A natural image, with an abstract representation alongside the "realistic" one.
The main colours in this work are soft and pastel: light grey, green, blue/blue-grey and white/cream. I think the colours and tranquillity of this work fit nicely into a Scandinavian living style.
I chose the title because I think the flowers of the thistle have something very sweet and soft, but the leaves, on the other hand, are very prickly. If you zoom in on the picture you can see this.
This piece could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the waiting room, bedroom, hall or just above the couch in the living room, for example! Also beautiful on the wall in a meeting room (business).
