Original artwork description:

Large neo-expressionist painting. Tropaeolum (nasturtiums), meaning the sign of victory or trophy.

In her recent essay "The Spoils of Post-Cataclysm", Esther Hipponax wrote:
"Lilia Orlova-Holmes's nasturtiums spill out from their font. Even the stem can't be seen. Only the trophies, the expression of growing accomplishment. The flower emerges as pure exultation, not a triumph over another, but pure self-expression, which itself places everything else in the background."

Oil on linen.
140x90cm
