Part of the artist's series Naturaleza Viva, this painting portrays an exuberant bouquet spilling into an irreverent display. These works play with the traditional Spanish titles given to still life painting, naturaleza muerta, and are illuminated by the use and significance of flowers in 17th-century Spanish and Dutch flower portraits. In this series informed by literature, the artist extracts and adds paint to create textural arrangements exploding from their vases.

Patricia Iglesias Peco's research involves the long history of sexual nuance ascribed to the vegetal in both philosophic and psychoanalytic thought. The artist has also drawn from her personal experiences of birth and death for her depictions of flowers in the past—especially the beautification rituals surrounding these life experiences, and how florals are used to conceal darkness. Iglesias Peco's recent move to California renewed the prominent role of nature in her work, as she began exploring the surrounding landscape and numerous botanical gardens. Encountering the smells led the artist to a mystical jouissance, a state of arousal, informing a process of carving paint with a brush. Iglesias Peco's flowers are not only a mere sign of beauty, they are alive with secret intentions.
