Red Poppy belongs to the Wild Anatomy Series, an ongoing exploration of natural forms through an expressive and painterly approach. This series investigates the visual intensity and emotional presence of botanical subjects, capturing their essence through layered color and gestural mark-making. This intimate composition presents a vivid red poppy emerging against a richly textured background of earthy tones, dark browns, and muted blues. The work combines oil and oil stick to create a complex surface where the flower's luminous red petals contrast dramatically with the subdued, atmospheric field below. The layered application of materials creates rhythm and depth, drawing the viewer's eye to the delicate center of the bloom. Its compact 22 x 27 cm format makes it an ideal choice for intimate interior spaces, office environments, bedside corners, or as part of a curated collection of small-format paintings. The work's emotional intensity belies its modest size. Original painting on canvas, unframed. Includes a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Certificate code: DG-WA-2026-006
