Original artwork description:

Poppies (2021)
Acrylic painting. 40 x 40 cm.
"Poppies" is a vivid exploration of emotion and symbolism. Inspired by the endless fields of fiery red poppies, this painting captures the dual nature of the flower — both beauty and sorrow. The flowing red drips resemble tears, expressing a poignant mix of pain and healing.

Poppies hold deep cultural meanings across the world: in Persian culture, they symbolize joy and eternal love; in Christianity, they signify the approach of the Last Judgment; in ancient Egypt, they represent female beauty and youth; and in Greek and Roman traditions, they are linked to sleep, death, and fertility.

This piece is a testament to the emotional immediacy of creation and invites viewers to reflect on the layers of meaning behind these striking flowers.
