Yellow Lilies is an oil painting created with a palette knife that conveys a powerful connection to nature through a simple yet vibrant composition.
🎨 Technique and style
• Expressive brushstrokes: The use of thick, textured palette suggests a technique akin to expressionism.
• Visual texture: The application of paint creates a tactile, almost three-dimensional feel that brings the flowers and their surroundings to life.
🌼 Visual elements
• Yellow lilies: They are the central focus. Their large, curved petals radiate energy and vitality, evoking feelings of joy and renewal.
• Vegetal environment: The green leaves and tall grass reinforce the naturalistic character of the work, framing the flowers as the protagonists of a wild landscape.
• Cloudy sky: The background in gray and blue tones introduces an emotional contrast. While the flowers shine brightly, the sky suggests melancholy or introspection.
🎭 Symbolic interpretation
• Emotional duality: Between light and shadow, life and calm. The flowers could symbolize hope or the beauty that persists even in gray moments.
• Nature as refuge: The natural environment can be interpreted as a space of protection, where life thrives despite external conditions.
