Introduction
A perfect bouquet of flowers changes its colors, petals, and never wilts. However, such flowers do not exist in our reality.
For it is an ideal gift for any woman, it is a symbol of love, a declaration of affection, a tribute to the feminine spirit in every lady or young woman.
This piece by Daniel Bulimar Henciu is a reinterpretation of the flower vases often painted in Still Life. However, the present work actually achieves the opposite, “Living Nature”.
As the abstract contours, fragmented through cubism, create a dynamic and moving effect, the pastel colors provide freshness, and the undefined forms never bore the viewer’s eyes, as they invite them to contribute with imagination, to discover what flowers make up the bouquet, and in this way, the “Flower Vase” maintains its freshness through its playful inconstancy.
The pastel tones of the background perfectly match a sophisticated decor that needs a chromatic complement to positively enliven the room. And the oversized dimensions of the piece ensure that its impact can be significant, as it occupies and dominates an entire wall.
The painting is ideal as a gift for a close lady or young woman, being a perfect gift of love, whether for mother, partner, wife, daughter, etc.

Artistic Movement
The work falls within Abstract Expressionism, having influences from Synthetic Cubism and Abstract Impressionism.
The fragmentation and reconstruction of objects, specific to Synthetic Cubism, is evident in the treatment of flowers, while the gestural energy and free brushwork evoke the expressionist tradition, as the layering of colors and transparencies recall modern impressionist techniques.
Working Style
- Technique: Gestural, Brushwork, Palette Knife; Calculated Strokes; Acrylic Layering without Secondary Effect of Covering Color Layers, Maintaining Overlapping Transparencies;
- Materials: Acrylic on Canvas
Daniel Bulimar Henciu uses a gestural but calculated technique, where the fine knife and precise brushwork combine dynamism with control. The acrylic layers are applied in a stratified manner, preserving visible transparencies and textures, which adds depth and complexity. The materials used, acrylic on canvas, contribute to the intensity of colors and vibrant textures of the painting.
Composition
- Subjects of the work: The flowers and vase represent the central elements, but are reinterpreted in an abstract manner, where their form is disjointed and reformed through color and texture.
- Arrangement of elements: The composition is dynamic, and asymmetric, with a bouquet that seems to explode from the center of the painting, creating an impression of movement and vitality.
- Balance: Though asymmetric, balance is maintained through intelligent distribution of colors and forms, creating a sense of visual stability in the midst of apparent chaos.
- Proportion and scale: The painting’s dimensions are large, suggesting an imposing presence and demanding attention in a vast space.
- Focal point: Eyes are drawn to the center of the composition, from where colors burst in all directions.
- Color and contrast: The contrast between vivid colors and neutral tones provides a captivating visual effect, inviting the viewer to explore each detail.
- Space and depth: The layers of colors and textures create a sensation of depth, as if the flowers were moving in space.
- Rhythm and landmarks: The painting’s rhythm is alert, the composition having multiple points of interest that guide the eye in constant movement.
Associations and Inspirations
The work recalls Picasso and Braque in its use of synthetic cubism, but also abstract expressionists like Willem de Kooning, through the energy of brushwork and free gesturality.
Additionally, the influences of Kandinsky are visible in the use of colors as an emotional and symbolic language.
Conclusion
Finally, the mastery with which the work “Flower Vase” was created by artist Daniel Bulimar Henciu, capturing an eternal and chameleonic bouquet of flowers, evokes abundance, luxury, and beauty for anyone wishing to invite positive states wherever they place the work.
Because the painting is a symbol that invites contemplation, it creates an atmosphere of refinement and can encourage deep conversations, especially if placed in an area exposed to curious eyes, such as a spacious living room, personal office, or company headquarters.
The future owner of this piece will become a Cultural Patron who supports and promotes local values. It is a title worn by few people, but one that is highly appreciated in society.
This piece complements any refined space in which considerable investment has been made, being complementary to modern luxurious decors, which often impress through simplicity and minimalism but do not stimulate the senses.
In most decorations, walls remain the most neglected, despite being the focal points that can elevate a room and can impress any guest through a carefully chosen piece.
And this happens because the selected painting represents the owner and honors them in front of others.
Because paintings are among the few decorations that highlight the deep thoughts and emotions that an owner has and which, normally, must be made known through long conversations.
A well-chosen painting can do this in a few minutes.
And it can continue this task for a lifetime, even more so, when we remember that this precious good is passed on to descendants.
And with time, the value of such an object inevitably increases.
For it is a unique and inimitable piece that is only in the possession of a single person, its rightful owner.
Therefore, if you feel that the work “Flower Vase” is suitable for you or that it conveys to you and others the feelings with which you identify, do not hesitate to call us to reserve it.
