A vivid celebration of life's transience and bloom, this floral still life offers a thoughtful gesture for birthdays or moments of connection. Veerendael arranges roses, tulips, and carnations in masterful harmony, their textures rendered with crystalline clarity against a shadowed ground. Each petal is a painter’s prayer; each insect, a whisper of time’s passing - inviting marvel and reflection. Ideal for those who cherish the delicate richness of nature and the artistry of the fleeting.
