About the artwork

The digital artwork Rose shows a poignant and loving portrait of the artist's granddaughter, captured against the rough texture of a stone wall. Central to the composition is Rose, a girl of about three, with a gentle, curious gaze that reflects both childlike innocence and a hint of wisdom. Her dark blonde hair is tied in pigtails. Her eyes, bright blue and shimmering, seem to look directly at the viewer, creating an intimate connection.
The stone wall behind her is a powerful contrast to her youthful appearance. Weathered, with cracks and irregularities, the wall tells a story of time and impermanence. This background emphasises the child's vulnerability and at the same time strength, as if she is growing up against a world full of history and complexity.
The artist plays subtly with light and shadow: soft sunlight falls obliquely from above on Rose's face, accentuating her features warmly and vividly. The colours are kept natural, but with a slight digital enhancement of contrast and saturation, giving the whole an almost painterly quality.
Rose is not only a portrait, but also an ode to family love and heritage. The work exudes a personal intimacy while evoking universal themes of youth, growth and connection to the past. The digital medium adds a contemporary dimension to this timeless scene.
