‘Lavender Flowers, Turquoise Vase’

This painting, “Lavender Iris, Turquoise Vase,” is alive with bold contrasts and geometric rhythm. Here are some key elements and interpretations:

Composition & Style

• The vase is central, with a turquoise base decorated with flowing yellow, lavender, and black curved lines. The large white circles give it a cosmic, yin–yang-like presence, suggesting balance and duality.
• The flowers—lavender irises with stylized, segmented petals and lush green leaves—are outlined in black, giving them a stained-glass or mosaic effect. Their shapes are both organic and abstract, bridging nature and imagination.
• The background uses strong geometry: a tilted checkerboard floor of yellow and black diamonds, paired with a white window-like rectangle framed by deep purple walls. The perspective feels slightly surreal, creating a sense of depth that pushes the vase and flowers into focus.
• A reflection of the vase on the glossy floor adds another layer of dimension, grounding the bold design in reality while still playing with abstraction.
