Spanish school of the 20th century. "Floreros". Watercolor on paper. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 39 x 29 cm; 61 x 50 cm (frame). In this work the author uses a language of post-impressionist heritage to address a traditional theme in art since the Baroque, the painting of flowers. However, the approach to the subject is totally modern; the space disappears, the vase becomes a stain of color and the flowers constitute an exhibition of light and color contained by a blurred stroke.
