YELLOW ROSES & BLUE IRIS (Original)
This painting looks through rather than at its subject. Dide adopts a photographic way of seeing, allowing depth, overlap, and partial focus to shape the composition, as if the viewer is standing inside the bouquet rather than observing it from a distance.
Rendered in oil on Italian linen, the work balances intensity of colour with delicacy of touch. Saturated yellows and deep blues press forward and recede, their petals folding into one another in a rhythm of light, shadow, and translucency. The surface retains a sense of immediacy - edges soften, details emerge and dissolve - mirroring the way the eye moves through a densely layered scene.
Part of a small group of flower paintings, this work explores how photographic language can be translated into paint without losing physicality. Rather than botanical description, the focus is on sensation, spatial compression, and the emotional charge of colour - immersive, vibrant, and quietly absorbing.
Material: Oil on Italian Linen
Size: Unframed 35 x 45cm
