The petals are delicately formed with visible layers, and there is a single stem with thorns extending above the flower, emphasizing the dichotomy. The artist’s use of patina gives the piece an aged, weathered appearance, with different shades of dark bronze and hints of gold that highlight certain areas, adding contrast.

The plaque can be displayed as-is for a more organic look or framed in a custom frame or shadowbox to enhance its three-dimensional elements. Whether mounted on a wall, placed on a stand, or framed, it would make a perfect addition to any art collection or a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship.

This is a limited edition sculpture, and is signed and numbered 32/150 by the artist.

His classical training and interest in Renaissance ideals gave his art a timeless quality, and he became known for works that emphasized clarity, balance, and symbolic resonance.

In 1985 he relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area; his children eventually joined him there. His artistic career continued to grow and he accepted commissions throughout the U.S. and in Britain. He became known for his figurative paintings and sculptures.
