Statement
Secret Admirer
Reminisce the days of romance, when you had a secret crush and wanted to tell them anonymously.
Do it all over again with “Secret Admirer”
Roses in bloom that will never wilt to show your never-ending love. A one-of-a-kind work of art that you can pass on for generations to come.
Express yourself this Valentine’s Day and tell someone you love their being -simply through Art.
Artist Statement
I made Secret Admirer to celebrate the Rose as a Gift to Express Love & Friendship.
The Rose helps you celebrate life’s memories, making the moment special. It goes well with every occasion, Birthday, and holiday.
These Paintings are unique to me as an Expression of Impressionistic Ideals. Using a prismatic palette, I finger-play once again with the marking of the Rose.
The paintings are inspired by the works at the Barnes Foundation by: Pierre Renoir and Vincent Van-Gogh, Utilizing their techniques.
Haiku:
Plucked from its gardens
Admired in a vase -Fame!
Lasting a few days
