63. Flowers and Fan [anii '30]

His still natures mainly belong to his period of artistic maturity which falls within the period of 1910-1930, where at this stage the artistic style of creation is fully formed and increasingly assimilates post-impressionist influences and those of Cézanne, where a few examples are: "Still nature with red flowers" (1940-1947), "Still nature with newspaper and cornflowers", (the 30s), "Interior with peonies", (1925-1928) or "Interior with sage bowl", (1930-1935). Painting becomes more balanced, meditative and with great attention to structure and color. The center of interest of the work is represented by a still nature with a yellow fan-shaped flower and a green candy box, where a clear balance is noticeable also in the case of the arrangement of shapes and color schemes, based on which it harmoniously combines to create different compositional relationships and shades to his work. More than a still nature, in this work each object carries a meaning, and the juxtaposition between them and the warm colors that Pallady chose creates a feeling of melancholy, escape and daydreaming that the artist wants to convey through them, like the idea of the passage of time and life: the flowers may suggest in his vision youth due to their natural and fresh color, the fan historic symbol of femininity, fashion, refinement and social status, while the green candy box may suggest aesthetic refinement or sweet little memories that can be gifted and shared with loved ones, celebrating moments of joy with them. Flowers, especially the color yellow is a powerful symbol of the sun, energy, joy and optimism, often associated with creativity and inner warmth. The artist is not looking to reproduce in photographic detail the elements of his props, but tends to capture the atmosphere and essence of them through chromatic artifices, refractions of light and undulation of the line. The flowers are in a blue vase with a foot on the table, next to which is a green candy box alongside a fan. The still nature created by Pallady surpasses the simple representation of everyday objects, transforming into a subtle meditation on time, existence and the artist's identity. The flower, the candy box and the fan become landmarks of an inner universe dominated by reflection, culture and sensitivity, where, the chromatic balance and compositional refinement seek not the fidelity of form, but the revelation of the essence of things, inviting the viewer to contemplate and dream.
