#11102 Rosa Torres

The composition presents a stylized depiction of what appears to be a floral arrangement within a vase, rendered in a fractured and geometric manner. The artist has eschewed naturalistic representation, opting instead for a construction of angular planes and sharply defined edges. A central, pale orange form suggests the core of the bouquet, radiating outwards into a constellation of colored fragments. These fragments – primarily blues, greens, reds, and yellows – are arranged in an asymmetrical pattern, creating a sense of dynamic movement and visual tension.
The vase itself is suggested by a series of vertical black lines that converge towards a central point, though its form remains abstract and undefined. A horizontal band of blue and green delineates the base of the arrangement, while a darker background provides contrast and emphasizes the vibrancy of the colors. The overall effect is one of deconstruction; the familiar subject matter has been broken down into its constituent parts and reassembled in a non-representational fashion.
Subtly, there’s an exploration of perception at play. The viewer isnt invited to passively observe a still life but rather to actively engage with the arrangement of shapes and colors. The fragmentation suggests a process of analysis or dissection, hinting at an underlying intellectual inquiry into the nature of form and representation. The lack of traditional perspective and depth creates a flattened space, emphasizing the two-dimensionality of the canvas and drawing attention to the formal elements themselves. This approach moves beyond mere depiction towards a more conceptual exploration of visual language.
