Floral Resonance is a vibrant display of abstract botanical paintings at D-Gallerie (1234 Dr MLK Jr St N) through December 14. This solo exhibition by Venezuelan artist Ricardo Reyes showcases bold colors, expressive brushstrokes, and the emotional essence of nature.
Standing in front of Reyes’s work feels like swimming through a bouquet of flowers. His paintings exist between abstraction and representation, capturing the essence of petals and stems through emotional gestures and radiant hues. Petals scatter, colors collide, and viewers are left with an impression of nature’s rhythm.
“I don’t paint flowers as they appear,” says Reyes. “I paint their rhythm, the energy they release when they bloom, fade, and return again.”
This philosophy is evident on every canvas, as Reyes’s compositions capture the delicate balance between movement and stillness. Floral Resonance is a masterclass in spontaneity and structure, where each painting suggests a cycle of growth and renewal.
