Valls - Flowers

Flowers as an independent subject began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world, as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers were depicted not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also became a way of interpreting reality.

The style developed by Valls in his floral compositions demonstrates a post-Impressionist maturity: his research, in fact, focused precisely on the theme of floral arrangements to achieve remarkable expressive heights in this stylistic register. The composition is entirely compressed into the foreground, without any allowance for spatial depth. The painter's aim is not to capture the sensory aspect of the flowers and fruit, but to capture their very essence, their substance. To this end, the brushstroke, rich in texture, intervenes, which, despite the essentiality of the representation, fleshes out the objects, breaking them down into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life within them. The sensory aspect, therefore, is completely transcended in a complex conception of pictorial practice in which the artist's gestures themselves play a fundamental role. Even from a purely aesthetic perspective, the composition always resolves itself in a harmonious dialogue of chromatic zones, created by the balanced arrangement of colors.

As we can see from the analysis of this work, Valls has developed in-depth research into the representation of objects and their perception through the genre of floral compositions. His pictorial language draws on post-Impressionist currents, with its own unique flair.
