Striking, emotive, and unapologetically raw, “Five” is a bold expression of beauty marked by change. Part of the artist’s powerful "Forty-Six" series, this original botanical painting explores the emotional terrain of a year shaped by profound loss, transformation, and personal reckoning.
Unlike the soft, romantic roses of traditional floral art, this rose is edged with defiance. Each petal is sharply defined—almost blade-like—hinting at the sting of grief and the piercing clarity that comes with it. Painted in rich, layered shades of violet and shadowy indigo, the bloom hovers between bloom and decay, making it an arresting symbol of emotional duality.
Set against a subdued, moody antique gold leaf backdrop, this piece embodies the darker, more introspective side of modern botanical art. It speaks to the collector who finds beauty in contrast—who understands that growth often begins at the edge of discomfort.
With its contemporary palette and evocative form, “Five”is not just a floral painting—it is a visual elegy, a portrait of strength forged through vulnerability.
