This is his reinterpretation of a greatest old master painting "Floral Still Life"by Jacob van Walscapelle, Dutch painter.
This large floral bouquet includes roses, tulips, irises, lilies, lilies of the valley, and crown fritillaria. Since these flowers do not bloom at the same time, this bouquet is the creation of the painter’s imagination. The artist probably composed this picture based on color drawings of individual types of flowers. Look closer, however, and you’ll notice other important details. Insects and creatures crawl and flit among the blooms, whose leaves are starting to wither and brown. The artist reminds us of the swift passage of time, that beauty fades, and all living things must perish. See less
