Les Tulipes - Seven tulips collapsed on their glass base, showing only a little bluish light. Seven branches of a vegetable menorah bent under the weight of the world and its troubles. But the painter is also unconsciously expressing the loss of vital energy that characterizes a difficult period for his health. A vase of tulips, linking him to his Batavian origins, sits on a hospital bedside table, trying to survive and get back on its feet, like the painter in combat. We wonder to what extent this painting is, in fact, a self-portrait. https://platform.wise.art/author/eahzhbqxm7/ https://www.instagram.com/regis_looten/
