From a contemporary perspective, Impressionism represents a revolution in the way of seeing, emphasizing the capture of light, shadow, and fleeting impressions. Bright colors and brisk brushstrokes replace the traditional dark tones and meticulous depictions. This approach, which values intuitive sensory expression of atmosphere and feeling, has profoundly influenced the creative methods of later generations of artists.
The creative background of this study stems from the researcher’s childhood experiences in the countryside, fostering a direct and profound emotional connection with flowers. Through observing and recalling flowers in everyday life and nature, and by referencing Impressionist techniques, the research focuses on the visual expression of floral charm and subtle light-and-shadow effects, developing a personalized creative direction. The study comprises three series of oil paintings—Wildflowers, Gardens, and Still Life—aiming to convey emotion, capture atmosphere, and explore a contemporary, personal vocabulary of floral Impressionist expression.
In the creative practice, the researcher interweaves layers of color with light and shadow to depict the delicate transformations in flowers’ natural postures, while using free brushstrokes to create a warm and approachable visual atmosphere, inviting viewers to step into the artist’s imagined garden. The process involved continuous experimentation and refinement in composition, color matching, and brushwork, gradually shaping a distinctive artistic style.
The findings reveal that floral subjects embody not only aesthetic presentation but alsoemotional and mnemonic significance. This body of work continues the artist’s passionfor flowers, integrating the spirit of Impressionism with personal life experiences to forma unique artistic vocabulary. Future creations will further explore floral variations acrossdifferent seasons, light conditions, and spatial contexts, deepening personal style andexpanding expressive possibilities.
