Maria Palombi - Flowers

Painter Maria Palombi delights us with this still life with flowers. Throughout the centuries of art history, the depiction of an inanimate composition, such as a basket of fruit or flowers, is probably the most common. It first appeared in Egypt in the 15th century BC. These funerary paintings depict highly detailed scenes of everyday life, including crops, fish, and meat, which would theoretically have served the deceased as provisions in the afterlife. From this point on, still lifes have returned over the centuries, also to express, through symbols and signs, the fragility of humanity. In this case, the artist's interpretation of this theme offers a contemporary reinterpretation, in which even the container disappears, leaving the vases loose against a dark background.

The style found in Maria Palombi's painting evokes a desire to represent not only the subject matter, but also an emotional element. The dark palette suggests a less than serene emotional state on the part of the artist. This expressive quality is also evident in the sparse brushstrokes. The few points of light that emerge are found on the flower petals.

Insufficient biographical information has been found about the painter Maria Palombi. However, we can place the artist among the still life painters of the late 21st century.
