Vase with Leaves

Vas cu frunze

2014 · watercolour · 35 × 49 cm

A watercolour of two vessels side by side — one cream and cylindrical, the other blue and narrower — from which thin vine branches emerge with leaves at every stage of autumn: green, yellow, orange, crimson, each painted separately with drawn contours and marked veins. In front of the vessels on the table lie a pale sphere and a yellow pear. The background is a grey and blue wash with vertical streaks allowed to run. The white of the paper stays active throughout; the work is a study of leaves, followed one by one, patiently.

Painted in the studio on Ion Creangă Street 15, Ploiești — the still lifes and flower pieces from 1984 onwards were made there. Established by the family, August 2026.
