The painting is about culture in the early 20th century. I have depicted the flamboyant life of the time, hence the title of the canvas.
In the foreground is a vase with a colorful bouquet. All around is drawn: Sherlock Holmes, old-timer, gramophone and a couple dancing the Charleston.

Philip Verhoeven, taught art from an early age, grew up in his parents' antique shop and started drawing young. Discovering figurative art and his passion for color, graphics, history, and music helped him develop his unique style. His vibrant acrylic still lives reflect his positive outlook on life, characterized by bright colors and a blend of styles.

Inspired by art movements like pop art, figurative art, graffiti, and graphic design, Verhoeven’s love for history, literature, and music often fuels his creativity. His paintings are rich with symbols and references to significant events and figures in history, inviting viewers to uncover deeper meanings.
