"Roses Don't Rush To Bloom" – Mixed Media Original

'Roses Don't Rush to Bloom' is an ode to slowness. The piece rejects hasty actions, instead embracing restraint. It demonstrates that beauty takes time, just as a rose does not bloom on command.

The creative process itself forms part of the message, with layers of paint drying slowly and transitions only becoming visible with patience. Even the creases in the canvas are part of this process — they are traces of the material, signs of endurance and time. Thus, the work embodies the experience of deceleration: a painting that doesn't rush, but allows space for breathing and becoming.
