Striped Tulip, 2026
This is a picturesque still life painted in a realistic style. The central image is a variegated tulip: deep red‑burgundy tones contrast strikingly with winding white stripes, highlighting the flower’s natural decorative quality. The details are meticulously rendered: the expressive curves of the petals, the texture of the green foliage, and the transparent dewdrops — they give the composition a sense of freshness and the fragility of the moment. The restrained neutral background and soft chiaroscuro enhance the volume and focus attention on the main subject, evoking the traditions of classic European floral still lifes.
