This exuberant still life by Samuel Borenstein exemplifies the artist’s masterful command of color and texture, transforming a seemingly simple bouquet on a chair into a study of expressive vitality. A passionate admirer of Van Gogh, Borenstein draws inspiration from the master’s emotive brushwork and bold color sensibilities. Here, the vibrant yellow and deep blue palette evokes Van Gogh’s influence, imbuing the composition with intensity and emotional depth. His dynamic strokes animate each flower and stem, creating an arresting visual contrast that merges admiration with originality. Emblematic of his post-impressionist roots yet distinctly personal in style, this work captures fleeting beauty in a timeless vision.
