2.2.3 The Garden of Flowers
In this piece real flowers are used, they help to read the piece as a flower bed. From a far you can not see the flowers, only a white color is visible but when up close the flowers give off a very powerful feel, especially when white paint is used joining the white leaf on the flower and the paint in one piece, as if the two are actually one. The piece from a far actually looks like a bouquet or perhaps a flower bed and when the light shines through the glass it almost looks like a pond with water lilly's, sometimes it feels like the painting looks almost like it had been sewn. In the middle we can see what looks like the main bud of a rose, the actual flowers that are present look wounded and give off a feeling of irritation. In abstract painting there are many possibilities to view a picture, I invite you to give your point of view. The method used to make the piece was set using an uncontrolled method. I threw a ball covered in paint making the transition from the hand to paper, giving time in between the action where i had no control over what was happening. It gave the piece its own life and energy. I discovered that abstract painting makes it possible to find new forms that are not controlled by my mind, I find that a very beautiful end result. It makes me appreciate abstract painting, it opens up new doors in my mind that were closed before.
The Picture measures 73cm by 52cm.
