Under the Roses I

Historically, the rose is a symbolic carrier of secrets. The term, "sub rosa" comes from the tradition of hanging wild roses above meeting places and tables in the Roman era.

It is understood that anything said "under the rose" will never be spoken of or repeated elsewhere.

This painting of three beautiful roses is inspired by this symbolism, with the addition of the eye which encourages honesty and celebrates deep wisdom and insight.

I have built up layers of paint to create the roses and used golden highlights to enhance details throughout. 

I invite you to hang this enchanting artwork in your home in a place where you can embrace the sanctity of intimate conversations between you and your loved ones.
