Harmony in Red and Teal 1934. Vintage Swedish Oil Still Life Painting.

This striking still life from 1934 presents a vivid arrangement of orange-red poppies and delicate pussy willow branches, gracefully displayed in a turquoise ceramic vase. The flowers burst with warm tones of crimson, amber, and coral, their petals rendered with confident brushwork that captures both movement and texture. The background, a deep burgundy fading into subtle shadow, enhances the vibrancy of the flowers and creates a strong visual contrast with the cool tones of the vase.

Set upon a glowing surface in shades of burnt orange and ochre, the composition achieves a rich balance between warmth and coolness, softness and strength. The piece reflects a timeless appreciation for natural beauty, inviting quiet reflection through its harmonious color palette and carefully considered forms.
