About the artwork

Tulips in Blue-White - An Ode to Form and Colour is an expressive oil painting that takes a playful and modern approach to a classic subject - tulips in a vase. At the centre of this work is a characterful, old blue-and-white vase filled with vibrant tulips in shades of pink and red, with fresh green leaves stretching gracefully in space.

The style is unmistakably inspired by the work of Henri Matisse, where colour and form are more important than exact rendering. The brushwork is loose and lively, with clear contours and a sense of freedom in composition. The colour palette is powerful, but also warm and rich in texture due to the use of oil paint.

The ancient vase forms a beautiful contrast to the modern, almost abstract approach to the flowers. The blue and white pattern subtly alludes to ceramic traditions, while the flowers, on the contrary, look vibrant and spontaneous - like a moment of blossom captured in paint.

This painting brings both energy and sophistication to any space. Whether hanging in a living room, hallway or study, Tulips in Blue and White offers a colourful point of calm that feels both nostalgic and modern. It pays homage to traditional still life paintings, translated into a fresh and artistic language that speaks to the senses.
