Circle and artistic influence:
Vicenç Oliver Arasanz (Barcelona, 1896–1970) was a Catalan painter trained at the School of La Llotja in Barcelona as a pupil of Gelabert. His language evolved from a correctly executed academicism toward the bounds of abstraction, and he stood out especially in the recreation of underwater landscape. His work, which includes floral compositions, appears at specialized auctions.
ㅤ
The work relates to the tradition of 20th-century Catalan floral still life, in which exuberant color and freedom of brushwork take center stage.
ㅤ
His language shows affinities with floral Post-Impressionism, particularly in chromatic intensity and the construction of the flowers with impasto brushstrokes. These references constitute stylistic affinities and do not imply a direct relation to other artists.
ㅤ
The composition represents a large bouquet of varied flowers arranged in a white vase, from which the flowers spill over the surface of a table.
ㅤ
Red and fuchsia dahlias, yellow and orange chrysanthemums, white flowers and branches of pink and yellow flowers combine with abundant green foliage, forming a dynamic diagonal arrangement.
ㅤ
The background, in tones of gray and light lilac, helps to highlight the intensity of the colors, while the uniform light accentuates the freshness of the whole.
ㅤ
The execution, with loose yet thick impasto brushwork, gives the flowers volume and vitality, and conveys a sense of abundance and joy.
ㅤ
The work is signed “V. Oliver” on the back of the canvas.
ㅤ
It is presented in a large gold wooden frame, with relief decoration and a light inner moulding.
ㅤ
Observations:
Large-format floral still life, with intense color and expressive execution.

The work may incur damage during transport even with proper packaging. In that case, we will need photographs of the damage 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, or article dimensions or weight. PremiArt will not be responsible for this surcharge.
ㅤ
The courier that must cross the Swiss border can experience much longer delays than usual, so if possible to speed up the processing, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so that the client can unlock it and have it reach its destination. Experience has shown this is the most effective solution for both parties.
ㅤ
Due to the high volume of shipments, orders may be delayed more than three days, for which we apologize and thank you for your patience. Any questions about your order, please contact us via internal messaging.
