Emma Desportes de la Fosse’s paintings of flowers are characterised by ordered and well-spaced compositions. The different flowers are outlined clearly, and appear detached from their background of unified cool colour. The clarity of the flower drawings is accentuated by a fairly muted palette mainly composed of pink and blue. All these elements combined give the flowers a grandeur which is as surprising as it is impressive.
