Three parrot tulips (2026) Original Watercolour by Yuliia Malkina Bohuslavska

Three parrot tulips caught at different moments — one open and extravagant in cream and blush pink, one still closed in pale ivory, one spent and bowing in deep burgundy. Together they tell a quiet story of transience.

Painted in watercolour with layered translucent washes on white paper, the composition moves through interlacing stems and long arching leaves in cool blue-greens. Close botanical observation meets an awareness of natural impermanence — a sensibility that has made parrot tulips a subject of fascination since the Dutch Golden Age.
