The abstract oil painting titled «Absinthe please» captures the essence of the famous beverage with a dynamic and vividly colorful composition. The focal point is a stylized, emerald green bottle of absinthe, tilted as though in the midst of being poured. Next to it stands a glass, equally green, waiting to receive the spirit, embodying the traditional color associated with this anise-flavored drink. Around these central figures, the background bursts with an array of colors, including vibrant oranges, deep reds, and purples, with splashes of blue and yellow. The colors might be seen as representing the various sensations and hallucinations absinthe was once purported to induce. The application of the paint is textured and energetic, with thick impasto techniques used to give dimension to the piece. Abstract shapes and forms blend and overlap, giving the impression of movement and a slight disorientation, a nod to the'Green Fairy's'intoxicating effects. Below the bottle and glass, two sugar cubes lie on the colorful plane, an allusion to the traditional preparation of the drink, where sugar is dissolved into the absinthe to offset its bitterness. The painting's title, «Absinthe please», combined with the motion and vivacity of the strokes, suggests a scene not just of drinking but of eager anticipation, perhaps capturing the moment before the absinthe's effects begin to take hold. It is an homage to the allure and mystique of the beverage, encapsulated within a lively abstract depiction.
