When Tulips Lean (2024)Oil painting by Elena Bulatova

40 x 30 x 1cm (unframed) / 40 x 30cm (actual image size)

£834.72

When Tulips Lean captures a fleeting, intimate moment — flowers no longer arranged for display, but resting naturally in their own quiet rhythm. Their softened posture introduces a sense of vulnerability, transforming the still life into a meditation on transience and presence.

Painted with nuanced tonal transitions and sensitive brushwork, the composition is guided less by description than by perception. Edges dissolve gently into the surrounding atmosphere, allowing color and light to carry emotional weight.

The restrained palette and subdued background create a contemplative space in which the tulips appear almost suspended in time. There is a calm gravity to the painting — an invitation to slow down and look more closely.

Rooted in the traditions of European painterly realism while remaining distinctly contemporary in touch, this work speaks to collectors drawn to authenticity, material richness, and quiet sophistication.

A refined piece that offers lasting visual depth rather than immediate spectacle.

Materials used:

brushes, oil paints, varnish, canvas

Painting is how I make sense of time. Some days it is about observation, other days about memory or feeling. I work slowly, allowing the painting to change and sometimes... Read more
