Original artwork description:

In this painting, I aimed to capture the wild intensity of life hidden within what may seem like a simple subject — blooming roses. But these roses are not just botanical elements. They represent emotion, passion, chaos — and at the same time, the natural order of things. I deliberately used thick, expressive textures and a bold, almost aggressive color palette to show how flowers, often seen as symbols of beauty, fragility, and love, can also embody inner struggle and strength.

Every line in the composition is intentional. I outlined the shapes in black, almost as if underlining the importance of every gesture, every petal. These lines are like musical notes — they create rhythm, a pulse, as if the garden itself is alive and breathing. The red roses at the center are the heartbeat — full of life and passion — while the yellow one below hints at warmth and light, but also perhaps something fading, a quiet farewell.

I didn’t want the viewer to just see the flowers — I wanted them to feel them. Their scent, their thorns, their presence. This is not a botanical illustration — it is a cry, a confession, an attempt to capture the fleeting nature of beauty and the timelessness of emotion.
