Original artwork description:

A whimsical embodiment of beauty that protects itself. These “flowers” cannot be picked; they are ready to grab you themselves. Bright, seductive red armor against a backdrop of deep darkness — this is passion bordering on danger. It is about strength, about desire with claws, and about the fragility of tenderness hidden behind powerful protection. Breaking with conventional ideas, this painting transforms aggression into aesthetics. It is a surrealistic hymn to desire: red, shiny, it promises not only sweetness, but also strong, sharp sensations. These claw-like petals contain primal energy and temptation that requires courage to approach. It is a call to embrace the beauty of strength. A flower that knows how to defend itself is a metaphor for our inner self. Each of us has our own hard shell (claws) to survive in the darkness of the world, and our own green, living essence (stems) that strives for light. It is about the balance between vulnerability and powerful, instinctive self-defense. The painting invites us to reflect: what is true beauty — tenderness or the ability to defend oneself?
