First Spring Flowers (2017) Original Oil Painting by Zurab Sharvadze

50 x 40 x 1.5cm (unframed)

£722.25

This painting captures the quiet, tender moment when winter finally loosens its grip and the first wild blossoms appear. A modest bouquet—gathered in the forest and arranged in a simple glass jar—rests on a table, bathed in soft, shifting light. The flowers are small, imperfect, and fleeting, yet full of life, carrying the unmistakable energy of early spring.

The inspiration behind this work is deeply personal. The bouquet was purchased near a metro station from a young village girl who had come to the city to sell the first wild flowers she had gathered. There was something profoundly human in that moment—the meeting of rural and urban life, of effort and hope, of nature brought into the everyday.

Painted with expressive, textured brushstrokes, the work emphasizes atmosphere over precision. The muted background contrasts with the delicate brightness of the blossoms, allowing them to quietly glow. The glass jar reflects light in subtle, broken tones, reinforcing the sense of transience and fragility.

Flowers, especially wild ones, are a recurring subject in my work. They symbolize renewal and the simple rituals that mark the passing of seasons. I often bring such bouquets home for my wife, who shares this love—making this theme both intimate and enduring.

This painting is not just about flowers; it is about the feeling of early spring—the promise of something new, humble, and deeply alive.
