Vaas beschilderd met bloemen in licht- en donkergroen 1900 - 1925

This vase, painted with flowers in light and dark green, emerged from the N.V. Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland, and you can imagine the hands that held it, turning, coaxing life onto its surface. I wonder what it was like for the artist to create this design. Were they thinking of the fields outside, a fleeting memory, or a deeper connection to nature's rhythms? The deep greens and burgundies create this moody, saturated effect, while the brushstrokes form sinuous shapes that both define and dissolve the floral forms. Notice how the artist has embraced imperfection. The lines wobble, the colours bleed, but it’s precisely these imperfections that give the vase its charm and individuality. This approach aligns with the work of other painters, who recognize that the real magic happens in those unexpected moments, in the embrace of the unknown. In art, we're always talking to each other across time and space, trading ideas, and riffing off each other's energy.
