Thick textured acrylic painting completed on artists quality acrylic paper.
Signed on the front Wain 24

This is an original, expressive acrylic painting on high-quality paper by British contemporary artist, Kirsty Wain. The artwork captures a dynamic still life of white lilies in a white vase, focusing on the moment before the blooms open, symbolizing anticipation and potential.

Style: Wain's work is celebrated for its Expressionist and Post-Impressionist qualities, drawing inspiration from masters like Van Gogh and the Fauves. This piece uses heavy impasto, visible brushstrokes, and non-naturalistic color to evoke emotion and energy rather than simple realism.

Visual Impact: The painting features a striking contrast between the lush, deep greens of the foliage and the creamy, sculptural white/yellow buds. The composition is anchored by a simple white vase, but the true dynamism comes from the background: a vibrant, textured pink and magenta field, which pushes the floral arrangement forward and saturates the scene with light and feeling.

Subject Matter: A powerful departure from the typical fully bloomed floral arrangement. By depicting only the closed buds, the artwork creates visual tension and expectation. The viewer is invited to contemplate the life cycle of the flowers and the moment of unfolding beauty.

Provenance: Directly acquired from the artist's studio.

Certificate of Authenticity (COA): A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by Kirsty Wain will be included.

Shipping: The painting will be professionally packaged, insured, and shipped flat or carefully rolled in a sturdy art tube (depending on buyer location and preference) to guarantee its safe arrival.
