Ikebana

Ikebana by Josephine Duval  Original painting - Acrylic and encaustic wax on wood board- Representing minimalism and space.

My inspiration is peace and harmony.

This artwork emphasizes minimalism, asymmetrical form, to embody harmony, peace, and beauty.

A quiet arrangement unfolds in Ikebana, where balance and restraint speak louder than abundance. Slender stems rise with deliberate grace, each line placed with intention, cutting through negative space like calligraphy on a blank page. Petals, few but luminous, seem to hover rather than rest, their colours softened by light that feels both natural and contemplative.

The composition resists symmetry, leaning instead into a gentle asymmetry that creates tension and calm at once. Shadows stretch and dissolve, echoing the forms without overpowering them. There is a sense of pause in the painting—a captured breath—where time slows and attention narrows to the subtle dialogue between form, space, and silence.

More than a floral study, Ikebana becomes a meditation on simplicity and presence. What is omitted feels as significant as what remains, inviting the viewer to look longer, and to find meaning in the delicate balance between fullness and emptiness.
