Contemporary Mixed Media Floral Composition on Black Canvas

This is an original contemporary painting executed on a black pre-stretched canvas using a combination of oil paint and pastels. The central focus is a large, stylized blue flower with elongated petals and a reddish-brown textured center. Surrounding it are various botanical forms, including a cluster of pinkish-orange smaller blooms appearing like berries and a secondary simple five-petaled flower near the bottom. The artist has utilized a vibrant palette of cyan blue, forest green, muted oranges, and soft pinks, which pop significantly against the dark background. The application of media displays a mix of impasto oil textures alongside the softer, granular strokes characteristic of oil pastels. The brushwork is expressive and fluid, indicating a modern, abstract-floral style. Based on the provided context, the work is roughly two years old, placing it in the 2020s. The canvas edges are visible and show signs of the black primer used. There are no immediate signs of cracking or delamination, though typical for recent oil/pastel works, the surface appears unframed. No visible artist signature or maker's marks are discernible on the front of the piece.
