THE ARTWORK
A light blue vase holds a bouquet of yellow, orange and purple flowers, fanning out in the centre of the image. Around it, delicate lines allow a barely suggested landscape to emerge: small figures and distant outlines accompany the flowers’ lively presence without distracting from it.
Michele Cascella’s lithograph alternates intense colour accents with softer passages, where the white paper preserves space and luminosity. The eye moves among the petals, follows the stems and returns to the vase’s blue forms, in a composition joining the intimacy of a still life with the openness of landscape.
