February 14. (An original miniature from my “Flower Miniatures” series)

In this piece, I explored the soft interplay of light and shadow on tulips, rendered in grayscale tones against a dark background. The high-contrast approach emphasizes each petal’s delicate curvature, suggesting the quiet romance often associated with February 14. Layers of markers bring out subtle gradients, enhancing both depth and visual impact.

Housed in a neutral MDF frame with glass and a coordinating mat, “February 14” seamlessly suits contemporary or classic décor. Displayed solo, it makes a statement about understated elegance; paired with other works, it contributes to a cohesive botanical collection. With minimal care—avoiding direct sunlight and humidity—this artwork will retain its timeless charm for years to come.
