MusA-349Description
Seen against a clear sky, under an awning. At the same time, the author designs a botanical and colour study of hydrangeas.The work is divided into two sections.
a) The first takes up more than two thirds of the print, its format is square and well delimited. The serigraph is framed at the top by an awning with vertical tricolour stripes, with a pattern: gold, blue, gold, orange, gold. The bottom is framed by three heads of pale pink hydrangea flowers, spotted with pink and magenta gradients.
The background represents the sky. The light near the awning is more intense and loses its strength as the eye moves down towards the hydrangeas. Here the colour is saturated with blue.
b) The second section is located at the bottom of the serigraph and contains loose graphic elements based on the botanical study of the floral element. On the left, a scientific illustration of a flower (without petals) has been drawn in gold on the side. The respective names of the flower's parts are written in red and blue, with some of them erased. In the centre of the plinth, another geometric study, in gold, made up of a set of semi-circumferences and semi-straight lines, forming four petals similar to the hydrangea flower. Below the geometric study and to the far right of the screen print, a palette of colours is numbered up to 10. The colours numbered 1, 5 and 10 are circled.
Above the numbers 9 and 10 in the colour palette, a pale pink and magenta-stained specimen of a hydrangea flower has been painted, with its foot facing upwards. The serigraph is framed at the top by an awning with vertical tricolour stripes. At the bottom, the frame is made up of pale pink hydrangea flowers, stained with pink and magenta gradients.
