Wilting cup Painting

Painting 'Wilting cup' is watercolor and pencil on paper. The floral subject is often portrayed as ''pretty flowers'' in vases hanging on people's walls. This painting portrays the 'ugliness' of contemporary society where everything needs to be ''pretty'' and needs to match their walls, undisturbing subject..like flowers... The 'memento mori' reminds us that nothing lasts, everything is temporary..even beauty of flowers and the feeling of 'beautiful estetics' that set our home at peace. Even so....wilting flowers can be visualy very stimulating as the lines and colors get far more interesting. Watercolor successfully depicts the fragile and merely see thru petals and leafs. The flowers are jammed in a glass cup, but the cup isn't shown...so the flowers obtain the shape of the cup without its existence .
