Tulip Fever is a new work from the 'Beneath the Bell Jar' series, featuring light yellow peony tulips elegantly breaking free from their glass confines. This painting portrays the tulips as they emerge from a fragmented bell jar, resting upon a small brass filigree base. The yellow tulips, a symbol of joy and renewal, are depicted in the act of liberation, their petals bright against the backdrop of broken glass. The artwork captures the essential life force of the tulips, which, like their need for a dormant period to bloom, suggests a period of internal growth preceding a vibrant emergence. The interplay of light across the petals and shattered glass pieces enhances the narrative of resilience and rebirth, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own moments of breakthrough following times of rest and reflection.
