Rose des Cisterciens or a watercolor rose (2025)Watercolour
by Yuliia Prokopchuk

In this watercolor, I portrayed a rose that amazes with its uniqueness — as if nature itself created a living palette of colors. The combination of pink, yellow, and cream tones symbolizes for me the harmony of contrasts — tenderness and strength, light and shadow, a fleeting moment of beauty that is both fragile and boundless.
I worked on this flower for over 120 hours, carefully painting each petal to convey its depth, transparency, and the breath of life.
I wanted to capture the feeling of warm sunlight touching the petals and the quiet joy of observing a living miracle. This rose is a memory of peace and silence — a breath of life amidst chaos.
