I love flowers and like to give them a stage on a canvas to show their beauty. Wild flowers in particular have a very luminous presence. I have a particular affinity for wild roses, especially those that grow in thorny bushes. They cannot be put in a vase, which is precisely what makes them so precious. You have to find them in the middle of nature — or in this painting.
The painting's depth of colour and luminosity make it an unmissable focal point.
