Original artwork description:

"The Nude Rose" captures the essence of one of the most extravagant and universally recognized flowers—the red rose. For me, the red rose embodies sexuality, boldness, and a strong, unapologetic character. This is why the pose of the woman in this artwork is symbolic: she is open, graceful, and inviting, yet steadfast, self-sufficient, and confident.

Through this piece, I aim to reflect the spirit of the rose in human form—celebrating women who identify with this flower, who embrace their strength, sensuality, and individuality without compromise.

"Femina Floris'' is a celebration of the intimate dialogue between flowers and the female form. In this series, each flower is projected through the eyes of the artist onto the body and behavior of a woman, creating a symbolic interplay of moods, character, and essence. Every bloom carries its own personality, and the woman associated with it reflects that same spirit—highlighting that just as there are no unattractive flowers, there are no ordinary women.

This collection is dedicated to women at every stage of their journey, embracing individuality, strength, and beauty. Through the harmony of floral symbolism and feminine expression, "Femina Floris'' invites viewers to explore the delicate balance between nature and identity, perception and emotion, art and soul.

Materials used:

charcoal, graphite pencils, varnish
