I have always loved roses and so this painting symbolises just that, my love for these flowers. There’s something quite formal about a painting of roses in a vase. Whilst I wanted to capture this “formal” tone, I also wanted to capture a slight playfulness through colour. I chose to use vibrant colours in the hope of bringing the innocent joy that I feel when I’m around nature, to life. Nature is bold, beautiful, strong yet delicate, and I hope you feel just that when looking at this painting.
