Description from the seller
A majestic piece of art.
Iris Sonata is a resplendent display of chromatic harmony and tactile dynamism, rendered entirely with a vigorous palette knife technique. In this expressive floral composition, the bold interplay of lemon yellow and violet-blue irises radiates across the canvas with orchestrated energy, lending the work a lyrical rhythm befitting its title.
Each petal is sculpted in thick, impasto layers gestural, raw, and luminous transforming the canvas into a topography of color and form. The deliberate abstraction of detail allows emotion and motion to dominate, bridging the gap between floral still life and modern expressionist painting. Delicate strokes of white and pastel lilac add atmospheric lightness, creating contrast with the grounded stems and deeper hues below.
The work is evocative of late 20th-century European floral abstraction, yet it bears a distinctly contemporary sensibility in its fearless texture and color confidence. It invites tactile perception as much as visual engagement, capturing not merely the image of irises, but their ephemeral essence and spirited bloom.
A bold and celebratory piece, Iris Sonata would resonate with collectors who appreciate floral works as vessels of both energy and elegance an exquisite embodiment of painterly bravura.
Can a painting come to life? Can time stop and flow at the same time? Discover the mysterious 3D animation inspired by this extraordinary work - where the line between art and digital reality blurs in magical movement.
