In the laconic and at the same time poetic work Poppies, the artist achieves expressiveness with minimal means. The flowers seem almost weightless, like a memory that arose on the border between sleep and reality. Bright, lively red spots of petals contrast with an almost ghostly background, in which light strokes are barely visible - echoes of stems, grasses, perhaps shadows.

The central figures are the poppies themselves - six flowers, each of which is rendered individually, with varying degrees of detail and shape. Their broken stems, deliberately uneven and thin, emphasize the fragility and fleetingness of life. This visual fragility is combined with the inner emotional strength of the composition: the red color of the petals refers to passion, memory, and sometimes - to loss.

The background is almost empty - a white sheet of paper on which light traces of coal and hand touches are visible. This creates a feeling of space filled with air, light and silence. This compositional solution gives the viewer the opportunity to stop and “hear” the silence between the brushstrokes.

The work is done in the spirit of minimalist expression, close to the Japanese tradition of sumi-e, where every movement of the brush (or in this case, pastel and charcoal) carries not only a visual but also a philosophical load.

Poppies are not just an image of flowers, but a subtle meditation on the theme of beauty, elusive and at the same time deeply touching.
