Purple Blooms

A refined mid-century interior still life painting that captures a bouquet of vivid purple flowers arranged in a clear glass vase, resting on a neatly folded napkin atop a coral-toned table, and executed in oil onto canvas.

The blooms radiate warmth and structure with their concentric circles and velvety textures. To the left, a cluster of green figs provides visual weight and organic contrast to the floral arrangement.

The composition is anchored by balanced geometry – a vertical vase, crisp edges of the napkin, and the gentle horizontal plane of the table – all of which play harmoniously against the soft verticals of the window and muted wall. The style is characteristic of mid-century modernist still life, embracing quiet elegance and considered simplicity.

The palette is restrained yet warm: dusty greens, deep purples, soft browns, and earthy coral tones. Brushwork is controlled yet expressive – blended in the background but more textured and sculptural in the rendering of the petals and fruit, offering depth and intimacy to this serene domestic scene.
