Where does the fascination for roses come from? Their bright colours, their unmistakable fragrance? Their symbolic power for love and passion? Even as a child I could not resist their attraction. Not only in terms of their beauty, but also in view of their thorny defensiveness, they stand out for me from the rest of the plant world. Although a rose bush has blossoms in abundance, each one of them is a plant personality full of emotional depth, which I still like to use as a motif for a new painting.

When painting a rose, I start with the inner, almost bud-like petals, move outwards with the brush, follow all the bends and overlaps, shades and nuances of colour with lines and colours until I arrive at the large, fully unfurled petals and no stroke is missing. While painting, I discovered all their little peculiarities that make them so special and unique. And in the process, you could say, I fell a little in love with them. No wonder that there are so many rose lovers and rose painters and that they like to call them the queen of flowers. I painted my first rose picture 'Valentina' for a very special person. Because, as we all know, flowers say more than a thousand words and a rose speaks for itself.
