Poppies

A field of vivid red poppies dominates the lower register, their stems rendered in confident green strokes against a grounded earth tone. Above, a golden-yellow hillside rises beneath a sky of purples and blues, alive with gestural marks. The composition balances botanical specificity with painterly freedom, the flowers depicted with bold simplicity whilst the landscape dissolves into expressive colour. Trobec’s characteristic use of colour with gleeful abandon transforms a familiar subject through his distinctive naïve fauvism.
