Description

In this vibrant and poetic work, Jean-Philippe Ghiglione , renowned for his mastery of the poppy in painting, captures all the fragility and power of this iconic flower. Painted in oil with a knife, this 100 cm x 100 cm composition magnifies shapes and textures with an energetic and controlled gesture.

The intense red of the petals contrasts with the white background, highlighting the delicate curves and the vitality of the flower. The slender, slightly golden stems evoke a fluid, almost dancing movement, while the budding buds add a touch of narrative: that of the cycle of life.

The work demonstrates Ghiglione's characteristic style: an expressive painting, on the border between abstraction and figuration, where the poppy becomes a symbol of freedom, ephemeral beauty and sublime nature.
