Red Flowers

Natural beauty

Looking at these Red Flowers, a work of art by Leonid Afremov, we can confidently say that the artist has his own style. This also applies to the image of flowers – Leonid Afremov captures the natural beauty of poppies using a large number of bright colors. Nevertheless, we can call his red flower oil painting realistic although certainly it is made in the impressionism style. Thanks to such a large number of bright colors, everyone who looks at the artist’s picture has a sense of harmony and peace. We are sure that for many of you this picture will cause the most positive impressions and will help raise your mood. Of course, it is suitable for any interior, but it will be good if your room is also fulfilled with bright colors like those that the artist used in his painting. Of course, they should not be so bright – to combine too many bright colors in one room is also not a good idea.

Poppies in culture

Poppy is a fairly common flower, pretty much appreciated among many nations. Of course, the attitude towards it is reflected in the culture of different peoples:

1. The ancient Greeks believed that poppy could influence our dreams. They thought that this flower grows in the kingdom of Morpheus, which is known to govern our sleep. By the way, their assumptions were not so illogic as it might seem. Poppy really has some kind of hypnotic and calming effect.
2. This flower is very much appreciated in China. The Chinese attributed only positive effects to it. So they associated this flower with beauty and prosperity. Well, of course, the Chinese knew about the narcotic effect of poppy, and therefore they treated this flower with caution.
3. As for the Christian world, believers associated the red color of this flower with the blood of Christ. For them, poppy is a symbol of renaissance, resurrection, the beginning of a new life.
4. In Buddhism, this flower refers to the first chakra that carries energy in itself and opens the other chakras.

It seems to us that just one look at this painting will be enough for you to get fulfilled with energy and a positive mood, because the artist put his soul into it! Despite the fact that the artist used a large number of bright colors, the painting does not look too bright – all colors look appropriate. It seems to us that many of you would not mind having such a bright spot in your room – it will always evoke positive emotions in you. In addition, the painting clearly shows what technique the artist used – he applied the paint using a palette knife.
