Created using Pastel on Paper, the painting showcases vibrant, delicate flowers contrasted against the dark, enigmatic background of a black vase.

This piece captures his fascination with the mysterious and ephemeral qualities of nature, using soft textures and luminous colors to evoke a dreamlike atmosphere.
