Periwinkle Oil Painting – The Garden of the Theotokos Series
This original Periwinkle oil painting 10x10cm is part of The Garden of the Theotokos Series, an evolving collection of small-format floral works inspired by sacred garden symbolism. The delicate blue-violet blossoms of Vinca minor are rendered with layered oil textures, capturing the quiet elegance and gentle presence of this evergreen flower.
Periwinkle, known botanically as Vinca minor, has long been associated with endurance, humility, and quiet resilience. In this painting, the small star-shaped blossoms emerge softly across the canvas, their subtle tones balanced by the calm structure of the leaves. The brushwork emphasizes both the delicate nature of the flower and the richness of oil paint, creating a sense of depth and quiet luminosity.
Each painting in The Garden of the Theotokos Series, including this Periwinkle work, is carefully framed in a custom-made white frame. The frame is conceived not merely as a boundary, but as an extension of the artwork into space, allowing the small composition to feel complete and contemplative.
The intimate 10x10cm format invites close viewing and personal interaction with the artwork. Subtle color transitions, layered textures, and the refined structure of the flower become more visible the closer the viewer approaches, making the painting ideal for collectors who appreciate small-scale oil paintings.
Collectors can explore other works from The Garden of the Theotokos Series here, including paintings such as Cherry Blossom, Chicory, Japanese Quince, White Calla, Peach Blossom, and Elderflower. Together, these works form a quiet garden of floral images that bring calm, beauty, and symbolic depth into an interior space.
The Periwinkle oil painting can be displayed individually or combined with other small works from the series, creating a harmonious collection of intimate floral paintings.
