"‘Bed of Roses’ portrays a reclining ‘Psyche’, who was born a mortal woman and eventually granted immortality. She is laying on a bouquet of flowers that glow from within. She is lithely comfortable and appears to be entering a blissful dreamlike state as a book falls from her relaxed hand. Her ‘bed of roses’ is aloft with the gentle support of putti-like infants, as she is being carried away above a citied landscape and into a glowing night sky.

"The image was inspired by the essence and beauty of my wife Johanna, and her interest in non-duality and the spiritual, as well as her innate love of children. And can also a represent one’s desire for release into a blissful night’s sleep, which is something I wish to her every evening." - Michael Abraham 2024
