"The Golden Vase", acrylic on canvas panel, Bishop Maxim, 2025

A luminous golden vase stands boldly at the center of a symphony of colors, cradling a whirlwind of vivid, swirling blossoms. The flowers, abstract yet unmistakably alive, burst forth in reds, pinks, and greens, as if dancing in celebration. Behind them, a backdrop of electric blues and greens evokes both serenity and spontaneity, while the table—a foundation of purples and indigos—grounds the composition with quiet strength.
The brushwork is vigorous, almost musical, hinting at motion and memory. This piece feels like a conversation between Van Gogh’s emotional turbulence and the Byzantine sense of luminance, yet it is entirely personal—an offering of joy from the soul of the artist.
