red rose

red rose (2023)
inviting unconditional love

description ༄
original painting inspired by the ancient art of alchemy, the deva of Rose, our Sun, the geometry of Soul and the creation of life.

the rose knows the highest frequency within the plant kingdom - she is the queen among the flowers and therefore a widely spread symbol of the divine feminine, of love and the soul, adopted by many spiritual traditions, myths and stories. She invites us to remember our natural state of unconditional love, of forgiveness and compassion. She brings spiritual attunement and makes one receptive for higher knowledge.

the red rose holds the values of love, devotion, mystery and embodiment. Together with her white coloured sister she points to the alchemical duet of the red and the white rose, the hermetic marriage of the masculine and feminine principles ~ signifying the return of the garden of paradise.

Here I explain more about this dear floral being.
