This painting captures the quiet elegance of a white lily in full bloom. The soft white petals curve outward like folded fabric, while the vibrant red stamens create a striking contrast against the delicate flower. Up close, every detail feels alive, from the gentle shadows along the petals to the subtle specks of red pollen.

Lilies are symbols of purity, renewal, and devotion, and this piece carries those associations while also celebrating the flower’s natural drama. The bold composition gives the impression of looking at nature under a magnifying glass…intimate, immediate, and full of texture. Whether hung in a modern living room, a serene bedroom, or a light-filled office, this floral painting brings a sense of calm and beauty to any space.

This original oil painting is part of my ongoing exploration of close-up floral subjects, where realism and abstraction meet in bold brushwork and luminous color. It’s a timeless piece for flower lovers, garden enthusiasts, or anyone who wants a touch of nature’s elegance on their wall.
