This still life by André Evard depicts magnificent blossoms, presumably a peony, in a dark blue-green vase on a plinth with a classicist appearance. The flower dominates the composition with its vibrant, bright red and pink petals, which are given a three-dimensional quality through skillful use of light. The lush, green-blue leaves frame the blossom and create an engaging color contrast with the vase. The background is rendered in light pastel tones, with loosely applied brushstrokes that add depth and texture to the painting without distracting from the main motif. The vase is simple and elegant, with a glossy surface that subtly catches light reflections. The composition appears thoughtful and balanced, with the flower presented in an almost monumental manner. Evard’s characteristic style – a combination of clarity, color intensity, and decorative formal language – lends the still life a unique expressiveness and timeless elegance.
