In this expressive painting, fiery tulips bloom against a dark background, as fiery symbols of hope and strength. The artist, R. Tielemans (2025), uses a bold colour combination of red, yellow and green, where the contrast with the almost black canvas makes the flowers glow, as it were.
The brushstrokes are energetic and spontaneous, giving the flowers a vibrant and almost dancing quality. Each leaf and petal is uniquely designed, with a palpable love for detail and nature. The composition is reminiscent of a spring moment captured in a flash of emotion - raw, honest and full of life.
The vertical movements in the background suggest rain, growth or an inner flow of energy. This work invites the viewer to stand still, feel, and lose themselves in a moment of natural beauty.
