Moments That Stay is a contemplative contemporary abstract floral work that blends expressive emotion with refined minimalism. Painted with a harmonious combination of oil, acrylic, and oil pastel, the piece features a richly textured surface that invites both visual and tactile engagement.

At its center rests a deep blue vase—calm, grounding, and understated—holding a poetic arrangement of abstract sunflowers, delicate dried florals, and softly rendered summer blooms in shades of warm red and glowing orange. The florals rise with a sense of quiet resilience, offering both movement and stillness.
The background unfolds in layers of heavy texture, merging greenish-yellow tones with hints of bluish-green, creating a serene yet dynamic atmosphere. Touches of white and gold add a refined luminosity, suggesting moments of clarity, memory, and emotional warmth.

This painting balances modern minimal abstraction with deeply felt expression. It captures the lingering presence of small, meaningful moments—the ones that stay with us long after they’ve passed—through color, texture, and softly shifting form.
