"Crocus saffron" Oil on canvas. 25×30 cm, 2024 unframed
The artist was walking in Cetinje, Montenegro, and saw how the entire park was covered with saffron crocuses. The crocuses looked so bright against the still cold earth that the artist decided to capture the moment.
This painting is about spring, about awakening. The combination of softness and richness in color gives a sense of early spring morning. Purple and lilac tones create depth, while the watercolor lightness of the painting emphasizes the ephemerality of the crocuses — their fleeting nature. The flowers seem almost transparent, dissolving into the cold hue of the background, like the morning frost in the air, which will soon dissipate with the sunlight. The yellow centers of the flowers are like the first rays of the sun warming the frozen earth.
