Description
Flowers are like emissaries of beauty, greeting viewers with their myriad forms and colors. Indeed, the splendor they bring to Nature moves the hearts of people everywhere. For me, flowers are part of a rich visual symbolism. In a culture of restricted literacy symbolic imagery is vital in helping to spiritually enlighten the rabble. In this painting I painted a vase full of flowers while the medium is oil paints. Narrative paintings, with their layer upon layer of vivid symbolism, provided instruction to the viewer who craved scriptural guidance. According to Charles Baudelaire "The whole visible universe is but a storehouse of images and signs to which the imagination will give a relative place and value; it is a sort of pasture which the imagination must digest and transform."
