A lush chrysanthemum with curved, as if curly petals — pink, blue, and lilac at once — against the same noble black background. It looks more like fireworks frozen in a single frame than a flower. In the language of flowers, the chrysanthemum (from Greek — “golden flower”) is one of the most popular and enduring flowers in the world. It closes the floristic season of autumn and is associated with the sun, spiritual generosity, mature beauty, and longevity. In the East (Japan and China), the chrysanthemum is a sacred symbol embodying imperial power, loyalty, happiness, and high social standing. Apparently, that is why it is my mother’s favorite flower.
This painting was created during my formal art studies.
It will make your interior cosy and unique.
