Original artwork by Maria Isabel Rodriguez
2025
Acrylic on canvas board
16 × 12 × 0.25 inches
Inspired by the tradition of 17th-century Dutch Vanitas still lifes, these floral paintings reflect on the beauty and impermanence of life. Rather than celebrating flowers solely as symbols of youth and beauty, the artist presents them as reminders of transformation, resilience, and the natural cycles that shape every stage of existence.
Working intuitively in acrylic and oil pastel, the artist builds expressive compositions guided by memory, emotion, and imagination rather than direct observation. Rich, vibrant color evokes both nostalgia and possibility, inviting viewers to pause, embrace change, and discover beauty in the continual process of becoming.
