About the artwork
Beautiful painting of roses, very bright, vibrant, lively. Long a symbol of love and passion, the ancient Greeks and Romans associated roses with Aphrodite and Venus, goddesses of love. Used for hundreds of years to convey messages without words, they also represent confidentiality. In fact, the Latin expression "sub rosa"(literally, "under the rose") means something told in secret, and in ancient Rome, a wild rose was placed on the door to a room where confidential matters were being discussed. Completed with palette knife only, petals are almost sculpted with thick layers of red paint.Roses

My passion for art began in my early youth and my life's endeavour is to create beautiful art. Expressive atmospheric portraiture and figurative art is my principal avenue in that pursuit. It is the challenge of capturing a faithful likeness of my sitter combined with their emotions and spirit that I find most compelling. My art focuses primarily on the figure- on gesture , light , sensuality of skin, intimate space and intricacies of human expression.
