Oil on canvas 2012, 70 x 105 cm / 27,6 x 41,3 in.
In my work with “after 22.July” I became aware of something I had always known, but that had never hit me as hard. I had to wait on the roses to die. It is a sad thing, but now I discovered that it was a rare beauty in it. I wish we all will look for that beauty in old age. Find the beauty in ageing.
