This work portrays a tulip at the moment of fading, when its petals begin to dry and the red tones deepen in intensity. The flowing form of the flower conveys movement even in stillness, highlighting a delicate balance between vitality and decay. Subtle color transitions and visible brushwork draw attention to the fragile beauty of this passing stage. By focusing on a single bloom, the piece captures a quiet, contemplative moment that reveals the beauty found in impermanence. Acrylic paint on cardboard canva (18x24cm)
