This unique acrylic and gouache painting on raw canvas is a quiet but powerful statement piece—perfect for serene spaces, artful interiors, or collectors who value the intersection of abstraction, symbolism, and earthy sophistication. It reminds us that every bloom begins unseen, below the surface, where vision takes root.

The composition is divided into two distinct zones—an upper field of airy openness and a lower half saturated in warm, earthy reds. At the center stands a vertical stem supporting two soft, circular blooms, each cradled within delicate almond-shaped halos reminiscent of eyes or seeds. These upper forms seem to float with quiet resonance, rendered in blush-toned gradients with sun-like centers in warm ochre and burnt sienna. Below, the roots anchor into two petal-like shapes painted directly into the deep rust ground. The left petal pulses with shadowy gradations, while the right features a constellation of glowing red and orange dots, like a secret language of pollination or germination.

This 30-inch high, 20-inch wide original artwork is meticulously crafted on raw canvas, with painted edges that create a seamless, finished look. It is wired, ready to hang, and requires no additional framing. It is signed by the artist on the back, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery. Convenient delivery is available in the Los Angeles area, and affordable shipping options are offered throughout the Continental U.S. and internationally.
