Title
Flowers with Dark Background
Description
Composition in tones black, green, white, red, yellow, rose, violet, lilac, orange and earthy. Smooth, thick, marked strokes. Composition representing flower pot, occupying the central area of the support, against dark background. The vessel is cylindrical, transparent glass, which lets you see the stems of the flowers and the water level. Leaving the vessel, some flowers between foliage. To the left of center and near the site of the vessel, yellow chrysanthemum. Above it, big flower orange kernels, with many large petals in shades rose, lilac and violet. Above this, white chrysanthemum in front of a burnt red tone dahlia. In the center of the composition and higher than the other flowers, a white chrysanthemum still entrefechado. On the right stylized red flower, big petals. Below it, a flower button. At the bottom of the bottom, very dark earthy tone range, almost mingling with the black background, where vertical stripes appear below the vessel, suggesting its reflection.
