It depicts the dogwood, one of the painter's favorite flowers. It has flowery words such as permanence and return.
This is the first pointillism work when the artist, who had been spending more and more time in his studio, started to work with flowers as a motif.
Although his next works, "Hibiscus" and "Sunflower", are more decorative as paintings, this is a special piece for the artist because it is the first flower painting he made.
About the technique.
This painting is influenced by the pointillism technique proposed by Seurat in the 1880s. He was fascinated by this technique, which gives an impression that is both intellectual and coldly mechanical, and is hard to forget once seen. By juxtaposing acrylic painting materials in dots on the canvas with a thin brush tip without mixing colors, and by mixing colors on the viewer's retina, he aims to create an expression that is complete in the sense of sight. I try to express black (shadow) without using black, and white (light) without using white.
