As an Algarve artist, I poured my emotions into this piece, an early work of metaphoric abstraction completed in 2020. This painting holds a deeper meaning, drawn from a time when I was experiencing profound loss. Through my art, I sought to extract the raw emotions from within, allowing them to take form on the canvas.

As an artist painting in the Algarve, I found solace in creativity, using my brush to channel healing energy and transformation.The focal point of this Algarve original art is the red rose, a powerful symbol of love, passion, and resilience. I tuned into the highest frequency, lifting the spirit of the Divine Feminine energy, engaging deeply with the heart and the sacred beauty of healing.

The delicate, soft brushstrokes nurture a space for this rose to blossom, while the sturdy stem and sharp thorns reflect the strength and protection often associated with the masculine. In this duality, I found balance, a sense of being held even amidst vulnerability. This timeless piece is a reflection of both fragility and endurance, an intimate expression of my journey. As Leo Buscaglia so beautifully said, “A single rose can be my garden, a single friend my world.” This painting captures that sentiment, embodying the idea that even in solitude, there is beauty, connection, and strength.
