#13738 Daeni Pino

The painting presents a still life arrangement dominated by a cluster of peonies. These blossoms, rendered in shades of pink and lavender, occupy the central focus, their forms loosely defined through visible brushstrokes that suggest both volume and fragility. The petals appear soft and almost translucent, catching an unseen light source.
A dark background envelops the floral grouping, composed of broad, gestural strokes in deep browns, blacks, and hints of green. This backdrop doesnt offer a sense of depth or spatial context; instead, it serves to isolate and intensify the luminosity of the flowers. The darkness seems less like an absence of light and more like a deliberate contrast designed to highlight the delicate beauty of the peonies.
The arrangement sits upon a surface that is also treated with expressive brushwork – a horizontal plane rendered in muted tones of beige and ochre, which further contributes to the painting’s overall sense of intimacy. The artist has avoided sharp outlines or precise detailing, opting instead for an impressionistic approach that prioritizes texture and atmosphere over photographic realism.
Subtly, theres a feeling of transience conveyed through the loose application of paint. The flowers appear not as static objects but as fleeting moments captured in time – their beauty acknowledged while hinting at inevitable decay. This sense is reinforced by the dark background which can be interpreted as symbolic of the passage of time or the inevitability of loss, creating a poignant juxtaposition with the vibrant blooms. The signature visible in the lower right corner suggests an artist concerned with capturing not just appearance but also feeling and emotion.
