As an artist, I've always been drawn to the beauty and complexity of flowers, particularly roses. Their structure and form captivate me, providing a unique combination of complexity and elegance that I strive to capture in my artwork. Roses hold no negative connotations for me. Instead, they are a symbol of pure, unadulterated beauty and resilience that I aim to convey through my work.
Over the years, I have undertaken extensive research into the symbolism of flowers, which has greatly influenced my approach to portraying them in my art. Each petal, each curling tendril, each burst of color or pattern of shadow is imbued with meaning, reflecting not just the inherent beauty of nature, but also the echoes of my personal journey.
Creating art is a deeply personal process for me. Each stroke, each line, is an externalization of my memories and ideas, transforming them from abstract notions into tangible reality. My artwork is both a reflection of my internal world and a means of communicating with the world around me.
Recently, I have been experimenting with black and white pieces, a departure from my typically vibrant color palettes. This exploration has resulted in three new untitled pieces that showcase my talent for capturing the nuanced forms and structures of roses, even without the use of color. These artworks are a testament to my versatility as an artist and my ability to convey beauty and symbolism through various mediums and techniques.
I'm excited to share that these black and white pieces will be featured in my upcoming show at The School of Visual Philosophy in San Jose, CA, this August. This exhibition promises to be an exciting showcase of my recent works and a unique opportunity for attendees to immerse themselves in my captivating floral narratives.
For those unable to attend the show, my artwork is available for purchase and I do offer shipping. Feel free to contact me directly for more information.
My journey with art, much like a blooming rose, continues to unfold in surprising and beautiful ways. I invite you to join me on this journey, to experience the world as seen through my eyes, and perhaps, find a part of your own story reflected in my work.
