#19579 Mari Fe Romero Campo

The composition presents a vibrant still life dominated by a bouquet of flowers contained within a glass vase. The artist has employed a thick impasto technique, evident in the pronounced texture of the paint application across the entire canvas. This textural quality contributes significantly to the overall dynamism and visual energy of the work.
Here we see a predominantly warm color palette; yellows and oranges form the backdrop, creating an atmosphere of intense light and heat. The flowers themselves are rendered in a range of reds, pinks, purples, and touches of white, all applied with loose, expressive brushstrokes that suggest movement and spontaneity. The foliage is depicted using varying shades of green, further enhancing the sense of organic vitality.
The vase itself appears somewhat translucent, allowing hints of the background color to show through, which contributes to a feeling of lightness despite its substantial form. It’s positioned centrally within the composition, acting as an anchor for the exuberant floral arrangement above. The artist has deliberately avoided precise detailing; instead, forms are suggested rather than meticulously defined, emphasizing the emotional impact over representational accuracy.
Subtly, theres a sense of contained energy. While the flowers appear to burst forth with life, they are held in check by the vessel. This juxtaposition might suggest themes of beauty and fragility, or perhaps the tension between natural exuberance and imposed order. The intense luminosity of the background could be interpreted as representing an idealized vision, a heightened reality that transcends everyday experience. The signature at the bottom right corner indicates the work was created in 1989, suggesting it belongs to a later period of artistic production characterized by expressive freedom and a focus on subjective feeling.
