In Maria Marta Morellis luxurious oil paintings, delicate peonies almost bloom through the canvas. The works represent the Buenos Aires-based artists fascination with the cycle of time and how flowers convey youth but also the unbearable finitude of life, she tells Colossal. With their incredible beauty and freshness, although transitory, they fill us with hope and convince us that life is worth living.
Morelli will exhibit her works at Art Revolution Taipei in May 2022, and you can follow her practice on Instagram. (via My Modern Met)

(16,254 posts)They are so realistic, I can smell the sweet aroma just looking at them. I had many in my former yard and they normally bloomed around what we called at the time, Decoration Day (Memorial Day). Peonies and Iris bouquets decorated each family member's grave.
