Roses usually defend themselves against touch with their sharp thorns. Against a glowing, golden yellow background there climbs a single rose stem, densely armed with sharp thorns.
This one is exceptional, because it has turned its thorns against itself and wounds its own body. In this way it has gained human traits. Navy, opened flowers and dimmed, brown gold leaves arrange themselves into a slender, vertical composition full of tension between beauty and pain.
I do not know whether any plant acts against itself and destroys itself by inflicting pain on itself, if the interest of other individuals of the species does not require it. Man, unfortunately, sometimes behaves so. The warm light of the background seems to pulse around the dark petals, heightening the drama of the scene. The combination of intense yellow with deep navy gives the work a sensual, almost theatrical expression. This is an expressive, vertical painting, which will become a strong accent in a modern living room or an elegant corridor.
