"Autumn Bouquet" merges indoor still life with outdoor scenery, showcasing how nature gradually engulfs man-made spaces. The central bouquet is filled with dynamic brushstrokes, seemingly extending from the stone column throughout the canvas. The foreground's grass and the bright green field, red-tiled rooftops, and grayish buildings in the background collectively create a poetic moment amidst the changing seasons. The painting is rich in contrasts: softness and rigidity, vitality and stillness, fleeting bloom and enduring stone sculpture. Pietilä uses autumn as a metaphor, guiding us to reflect on memory and aesthetics, which often quietly flourish in moments of "transformation."
