The painting "Geraniums" is simple and homely: a row of geraniums in pots, painted with acrylics and detailed with colored pencils on canvas. You can see the combination of a dense, matte layer of paint and fine pencil strokes on top: the background and shapes are defined by brush, while the leaves, veins, and flower outlines are emphasized and "redrawn" with pencil.
• Frontal, slightly flat composition
• Background — light blue with white strokes, reminiscent of a winter landscape, creating an airy depth while remaining decorative.
• The graininess of the canvas and the texture of the acrylic brushstrokes are visible; the pencil adds intimate, handcrafted touches.
• A blend of naive/folk and decorative-illustrative styles: simplified forms, repeating patterns, and the absence of strict perspective bring the work closer to "contemporary primitivism" or decorative botany.
• More graphic than realistic naturalism — emphasis on pattern, rhythm, and color rather than precise scientific depiction of the plant.
It conveys the warmth and coziness of a home pot on the windowsill; the painting evokes a feeling of calm everyday pleasure.
• The light childishness of the drawing and pastel palette create a sense of serenity and nostalgia — like a memory of home windows or childhood summers.
• At the same time, the rhythm and order of the pots impart confidence and organization, while the bright flowers add a touch of joy and freshness.
• Enhances the feeling of comfort and security: associations with nature and home care reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
• Color palette: the blue background soothes, green leaves harmonize attention, pink-red flowers lift the mood; together they create a balanced emotional effect.
• Decorative, clear forms and the rhythm of the drawing ease perception; the painting encourages contemplation and gentle distraction from stress without overwhelming emotions.
• Refreshes and "enlivens" the interior: the light blue background visually expands the space, making the wall feel airier.
• The repeating rhythm of the pots creates a decorative line on the wall — the painting becomes a focal point at eye level and can elongate the vertical if hung slightly higher.
• Its size and calm palette allow it to be combined with plants in the interior, enhancing the effect of a "living" space.
• Best viewed up close and at eye level to appreciate the pencil strokes and texture.
• Accentuates wooden or white furniture tones; can be placed above a console, windowsill, or grouped with small ceramic pots to create a themed area.
A simple and warm decorative piece that brings homey comfort, lightness, and visual order to a room, while simultaneously uplifting mood and softening emotional tension.
