NASTURTIUM AND ROSES

This is a small secret corner of the large garden of our friends in France. Each time, admiring this beauty, you find something new for yourself. Now it is a composition of the trunks of a large climbing rose near the old castle wall and a scattering of cheerful nasturtiums below on the ground.

Summer shadows add an extra mood to this flower dance composition: waltz and polka.

Back in Prague, I found a canvas of a small square format, which was very consistent with my vision of the plot. The painting was painted on a pre-prepared canvas with various spontaneous surfaces that were left so in addition to conveying the impression of fragile perfection.

Therefore, I focused on the shape of the flowers and the contrast of the leaves and the rhythm of the branches . 

Here, as in many of my paintings, the influence of the style of the 30s is noticeable. The painting also  resembles a French stained glass window thanks to its clear arabesque lines and a repeating rhythm of color spots.
