Created by Belgian artist Luc Tuymans in 1993, “Flowers” is an oil painting on canvas that belongs to the New European Painting movement. This flower painting measures 79.5 x 72.5 cm, exhibiting Tuymans’s distinctive style and his exploration of themes through simplicity and nuanced color palettes.
The artwork depicts a bouquet of flowers contained within a vase. The composition is rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes, emphasizing form and texture. The colors used are subdued, yet they convey a sense of depth and subtle contrast. The vase, adorned with abstract patterns or drips, takes center stage, grounding the organic forms of the flowers and leaves which extend upwards. The background is painted in harmonious tones that complement the earthy hues of the vase, contributing to the overall contemplative and introspective atmosphere of the piece.
