Petrașcu's floral elegies will gain the status of true pictorial spectacles due to their completely different realization manner compared to that of Grigorescu, Luchian or Andreescu. He stands out for the force of realistic expressivity and the austere aspect of his works. The succulent paste, carefully laid with the tip of the knife, transfigures reality through the complexity and hardness of the materials used. The artist proves to be a true master of the technique and inserts light into color, but he will also learn to master the secrets of black, which he assimilates from Goya's work. Frugally represented in vivid and strong colors, Petrașcu's tulips become a visceral record of a slice of nature set on an inorganic background. The holder of a sensitive and prodigious character, but confident in his own strength, Gheorghe Petrașcu will abandon the copist model promoted by his predecessors and will rely on the spontaneity of his execution. Holder of a special talent, he will be noticed by Nicolae Grigorescu and G.D. Mirea and will, through his vocation, professionally develop during his study trips abroad. He debuted in front of the Bucharest public in 1900, through a personal exhibition. The painting proposed by the artist is much more brutal than that of his predecessors. Petrașcu opts for a dark chromatic and for the use of strident contrasts. He evokes aspects of nature through his specific coloration and does not hesitate to abundantly use black, red or green.
