Circle and artistic influence:
ㅤ
Francesc Riera Serra (1924–2001) was a Spanish painter of the 20th century whose work falls within figurative painting. The present floral composition allows linking his pictorial language with the Post-Impressionist tradition, especially due to the importance given to brushwork, material, and chromatic expressiveness.
ㅤ
The work shows a clear artistic influence of Vincent van Gogh, especially in the treatment of the flowers and the use of visible, richly textured brushwork. Stylistic connections can also be made with certain still lifes by Paul Cézanne and with the floral tradition of European modern painting.
ㅤ
The composition presents a delicate bouquet of white daisies arranged in a ceramic jar decorated with blue floral motifs. The flowers appear distributed spontaneously, with intertwined green stems and the petals oriented in various directions.
ㅤ
On the table, on both sides of the container, a small decorative figure and a goblet can be distinguished, elements that enrich the scene and give it a domestic and intimate character.
ㅤ
The background, worked with pinkish and beige tones, creates a warm and serene atmosphere, while the flowers stand out for their whitish petals and yellow centers.
ㅤ
The brushstroke is visible and expressive, with small accumulations of pigment that add texture to the petals and to the surface of the jar.
ㅤ
The composition offers a poetic interpretation of the floral still life, combining compositional simplicity, chromatic sensitivity, and Post-Impressionist influence.
ㅤ
It is accompanied by a wooden frame with wide moldings, aged gold finish, and a slightly textured surface. Its warm tone harmonizes with the painting’s pinkish background.

Observations:
ㅤ
The work may sustain damage during transport even with proper packaging. In such a case, we will need photographs showing the defects to proceed with compensation. Customer satisfaction is always our priority.
ㅤ
Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by surcharges due to reasons such as being outside a continental territory, excessive dimensions, or weight of the item. PremiArt will not cover this surcharge.
ㅤ
The courier that must cross the Swiss border can experience much longer delays than normal, so, if possible to expedite the process, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so the customer can clear it and have it delivered to its destination. Experience has shown us that this is the most effective solution for both parties.
ㅤ
Due to the high volume of shipments, the order may be delayed more than three days, for which we apologize and thank you for your patience. If you have any questions about your order, please contact us via internal messaging.
