This charming original painting by Alexander Michael, a German artist, dates back to 1969. It features a vivid still life of a lush bouquet of flowers arranged in a dark brown vase, placed on a table covered with a red cloth. The background opens into a bright interior space with open doors and framed wall art, adding depth and a cozy, homely ambiance to the composition. The painting style is impressionistic, characterized by expressive brushstrokes and textured layers of paint that bring a sense of movement and vitality. The color palette is rich and vibrant, with dominant hues of blue, violet, pink, and yellow, complemented by light walls and warm wood tones. The piece is signed 'AM 69' by the artist in the upper right corner, clearly marking both the creator and the year of completion. It is set in a decorative wooden frame with a detailed inner edge that enhances the painting's warm and inviting appearance. Oil on wood panel.
Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German landscape, still life and architectural painter. His paintings can be stylistically assigned to Impressionism or a late Impressionist style. His loose painting style, applied with a sure hand, creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and bright colors. The light conditions, color tones and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
