White Rose

In this understated and refined composition, a solitary white rose emerges gently from a deep black background, revealing the subtle elegance of its curves. The petals, softly unfurling, catch a gentle light that brushes their satiny surfaces—evoking purity, peace, and fleeting beauty. The contrast between the velvety whiteness of the bloom and the enveloping darkness enhances its almost sculptural presence. The slender green stem and discreet background leaves offer balance and grounding. This work invites quiet contemplation, where every detail becomes a meditation on natural grace, fragility, and the quiet nobility of simplicity.
