Flowers in a vase

Flowers in a Vase is an original oil painting on unstretched canvas, measuring 18 x 24 inches. The title is written in Russian on the artwork itself, translating to “Flowers in a Vase.”

This piece was inspired by a particular Russian song that stayed with me emotionally and visually. Instead of real blooms, the painting features plush flowers—soft artificial flowers that appear both strikingly realistic and unmistakably unreal at the same time. That contrast between authenticity and imitation is at the heart of this work.

Painted in rich oil textures, this artwork explores memory, nostalgia, and the delicate line between what feels alive and what is only a representation of life. The combination of soft floral forms and the handwritten Russian text gives the painting a quiet, poetic atmosphere.

Perfect for collectors of contemporary art, floral still lifes, or anyone drawn to meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces with a story behind them.
