— The Persistence of Bloom — The flower in art has always been more than botanical — a meditation on time, beauty, and transformation. In these works, the bloom returns not as ornament, but as revelation — a symbol of persistence, vulnerability, and renewal. Each canvas begins in abstraction; yet, through layered gestures, petals emerge — luminous, uninvited, inevitable. Muted golds, dusky plums, and greens dissolving into air speak softly of hope — not as brightness, but as endurance. In their unfolding lies the quiet rhythm of life itself: the tension between presence and disappearance, between stillness and becoming.
