Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Composition in tones earthy (predominant), ochre, green, white, blue, black and red. Smooth texture in the background and marked with thick brush strokes. Moose flower pot in space, against background "degrade" with surrealist feature of the composition. The vessel is large, oval, represented by vertical strokes on earthy dark tone contrasting with the light that lights. Bouquet of undefined flowers in white, blue and red colors, and the leaves that compose it. Background in earthy-clearing dark tone from top to bottom and from bottom to top to find the luminous area spanning the composition horizontally.
