AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Madness in Bloom is a vibrant and intensely gestural abstract painting in which colour, movement and spontaneous brushwork come together in a dense, almost organic visual field.
Layers of yellow, coral, pink, white, blue, green and deep red overlap and collide, creating an impression of forms continuously emerging, dissolving and reappearing. The composition suggests flowers, fragments of figures or organic structures without ever settling into a single identifiable subject.
The visible brushstrokes and overlapping layers preserve the immediacy of the painting process. Soft, delicate passages coexist with more energetic marks and saturated areas of colour, creating a tension between tenderness and expressive intensity.
The work belongs to a contemporary gestural and expressionist approach, drawing on the principles of Action Painting and Abstract Expressionism while maintaining a playful, highly personal use of colour.
Rather than offering a fixed image, Madness in Bloom invites the viewer to discover new shapes and associations within its constantly shifting surface.
Artwork size: 142 x 86 cm (total canvas size approx. 152 x 96 cm)

Canvas & Mounting
The artwork is painted on cotton canvas and is shipped rolled and unmounted for safe and economical international transport.

The artwork is not ready to hang upon delivery. The buyer should have it professionally stretched and mounted according to the dimensions indicated in the listing. The thickness and type of stretcher frame, as well as the desired finishing (for example, visible or concealed edges), can be selected with a professional framer according to personal preference and the intended location of the artwork.
The canvas is securely packaged for transport and shipped with a tracking number.
