‘A rose by any other name’ 40 x 30 cm Oil on ACM Panel AUD 2,200In this painting, I sought to capture the timeless beauty of a rose in an imaginative and
idealised style. This artwork serves as a commentary on the enduring relevance and
importance of beauty in art. The rose, with its delicate petals and vibrant colours, symbolises
the fleeting nature of beauty and the deeper emotional resonance it holds. I believe that in a
world often overwhelmed by chaos and negativity, art that celebrates beauty offers a vital
refuge and a reminder of the good and the sublime. Through this painting, I invite the
viewers to pause and appreciate the simple, yet profound, beauty around us, reaffirming the
value of art in nurturing our souls and uplifting our spirits.
