#43730 Borrego Ruiz

The composition presents a still life arrangement dominated by floral abundance and juxtaposed with a vintage alarm clock. A vibrant bouquet fills the central space, composed of roses in various shades – crimson, blush pink, and cream – interspersed with lilies, carnations, and orange-hued daisies. The flowers spill out from a cobalt blue vase, its metallic base catching the light.
Below the vase, resting on a dark surface, lies an antique alarm clock with a green casing and white face, displaying a time just past seven. A single rose petal has fallen onto the surface near the clock, adding to the sense of quiet intimacy. The background is rendered in deep magenta tones, which serve to intensify the colors of the flowers and create a feeling of depth.
The arrangement seems deliberately staged, with an emphasis on color harmony and textural contrast. The softness of the petals contrasts with the hard lines of the vase and clock. The presence of the alarm clock introduces a temporal element – a suggestion of passing time or perhaps a reminder of routine against the ephemeral beauty of the flowers.
Subtly, theres a melancholic undertone to the scene. The fallen petal hints at decay and transience, while the stopped time on the clock could symbolize moments lost or opportunities missed. It is not an overtly dramatic depiction, but rather one that invites contemplation about the fleeting nature of beauty and the passage of time within a domestic setting.
