Banana tree blossom

This work entitled “Blossoming Banana Tree,” is an example of the modern art genre, where textured surfaces, combined with gold leaf, lends the painting an almost sculptural quality. Layers of paste create depth and volume, allowing light to play with the artwork from various angles forming a variety of reflections depending on the viewpoint of the observer and the source and colour of the light itself. This approach transforms the canvas from a simple visual surface into an object with a tangible presence in the room. The focal point of the piece is a radiant red flower. Acting as a visual anchor, it draws the gaze of the observer and adds an emotional charge to the composition. The colour of the flower being deliberately chosen, as red flowers (often associated with exotic and tropical flora like hibiscus or anthurium) carry connotations of beauty, charm, and vitality.
