One Petal Gone

A single red tulip, one petal gone, and all the beauty that remains

There is something about a flower past its perfect moment that is more interesting than one in full bloom. This red tulip has lost a petal. It stands in a favourite blue vase - found in an antique store, the kind of object that already carries a life before you - and it is still entirely, quietly beautiful. Perhaps more so. The missing petal is not a flaw. It is the whole point.

Painted against a strong, deep blue background that gives the composition a modern, graphic confidence, One Petal Gone is a painting about the passage of time and the beauty that persists through it. Smaller in scale - 20 x 20 cm on a deep edge canvas with painted sides - it has the presence of something much larger. It needs no frame. It simply needs a wall and someone who notices.

Collecting original art

Owning an original painting means owning something no one else in the world has. This piece was painted entirely by hand by Marta Stolarska - every petal, every glaze of the antique vase, every depth of that blue background observed and held in oil. It arrives ready to hang and ready to be noticed.

One red tulip, one petal gone, one antique vase - and all the beauty that time leaves behind.
