Rose, 2015

Entitled 'Rose', the painting is a monumental portrait of a woman that retains a remarkable subtlety and delicacy despite its imposing size. Against a background of warm blue emerges the figure of a girl with dark blonde hair, whose brightest point is her penetrating blue eyes. It is the eyes that become the central element of the composition, drawing the viewer's attention with their depth and clarity. They reflect a full kaleidoscope of emotions - from nostalgia to subtle contentment. Although they appear cool at first glance, on a longer look one can see a gentle smile in them, barely noticeable but full of mysterious charm.

The girl in the portrait carries a rose under her ear, which becomes not only an ornament but also a symbol of her name. This name, Rose, was given by the artist as a reflection of this floral ornament, which harmonises with her subtle beauty. The portrait, although painted from imagination, exudes life and emotion, as if the figure is more than a figment of the imagination - as if she has her own story and exists somewhere beyond the canvas.

The painting's colour scheme is soft and bright, adding a light and serene feel to the whole. The warm blues of the background and the subtle tones of the skin create a harmonious composition that does not impose itself, but invites you to linger longer in front of it. The texture of the painting is delicate, barely perceptible, which further emphasises the subtle nature of this work. "Rose" is a portrait that, despite its size, affects the viewer not through its intensity, but through its gentleness and the inner peace that emanates from the girl's face and her calm, vibrant gaze.
