Growing up, my grandmother had this huge painting collection of flowers on super dark backgrounds. I loved the way they popped against those dusty brown-blue backgrounds – there was something visually captivating about their dark beauty that stayed with me.
This piece feels romantic, endless, and charged. The deep, velvety reds of the roses stand in striking contrast against the darkness, creating that atmosphere of both passion and tranquility I remember from her walls. The rich, textured petals unfold amidst dark green leaves, with delicate touches of white flowers adding subtle softness to the composition.
When I paint pieces like this, I think of my grandmother and her adoration for deeply committed beauty. She had no patience for anything halfway or timid – she wanted art that demanded attention, that celebrated the resilience and vibrant life that flourishes even in the quietest, most unexpected places.
I hope I made her proud when I produced this one. It's about finding beauty in the shadows and honoring the women who taught us that sometimes the most powerful statements come wrapped in darkness, glowing from within. This piece invites you to appreciate that kind of unapologetic, midnight elegance.
