In this work the author uses a language of pointillist heritage to approach a traditional theme in art since the Baroque period, the painting of flowers. However, the approach to the subject is totally modern; the space disappears, the vase becomes a stain of colour and the flowers constitute an exhibition of light and colour contained by a thick, dark, almost calligraphic stroke.
