Garden

Oil on canvas, 60x73 cm (with frame 69x82x4,5 cm) /// Harijs Veldre (1927–1999) was a Latvian painter whose oeuvre is distinguished by landscape motifs, revealing a particular interest in the richness of nature’s colours and the atmosphere of the changing seasons. In the painting “Garden”, the artist depicts the full splendour of summer flowers in bloom, with clusters of blossoms in a variety of colours forming a dense, decorative composition. Soft shades of pink, white, yellow, and orange dominate the work, blending harmoniously with the green expanses of foliage. The free, painterly brushwork and subtle colour transitions create a light-filled atmosphere suffused with sunshine. The diversity of colours and abundance of flowers emphasise the beauty of nature and the vitality of summer at its peak. /// The artist’s signature is located in the lower right corner of the painting.
