Symbolism

These works lean toward the mystical and symbolic, favoring suggestion over plain description. Flowers appear less like botanical studies and more like visions, as in "Peonies" by Odilon Redon, while a ladder stretching skyward points to themes beyond the visible world. The mood stays hushed and dreamlike throughout, with soft color and loose form standing in for literal detail.
