With Vase with Flowers, Paolo May reinterprets a subject associated with Paul Gauguin, an artist who, like May, came from a banking background before turning to art. This 3D artwork uses mixed media on wood, combining clay, glazes and colors to create a vibrant, textured bouquet. A piece that blends biography and inspiration, transforming a classic subject into a contemporary vision.
Colors in images may appear slightly different or more saturated depending on the device used.
Paul Gauguin, before becoming one of the key figures of modern art, worked in banking. Paolo May followed a similar path, leaving behind the financial world to fully dedicate himself to creativity.
This shared experience becomes the starting point for Vase with Flowers, where May pays tribute to Gauguin through a deeply personal interpretation.
The artwork is created using mixed media on wood, where clay, glazes and colors form volumes and tactile textures. The flowers emerge from the surface, almost becoming sculptural elements, while the warm palette conveys energy and vitality.
In Vase with Flowers, May does not aim to replicate Gauguin’s work, but to reinterpret it freely, combining admiration and inspiration with a personal artistic language. The result is a piece that carries both artistic memory and contemporary sensitivity.
