I’ll show you flowers – Colors as a symbol of gesture

A paint-box painting full of poetry

“I’ll Show You Flowers” (55 × 80 × 4 cm, 2014) transforms the paint box into a poetic gesture. At the top, round paint pans in bold green, violet, red and orange line up like stylised flower heads. Below them, rectangular areas in yellow, pink, violet and green unfold – like an abstracted bouquet translated into colour.

The impasto surface, with visible traces of the painting process, makes the work vivid and sensually tangible. "I’ll Show You Flowers" is a painting that expresses lightness, joy, and affection – an invitation to experience color as a symbol of encounter and closeness.
