"WHAT REMAINS OF LOVE... PASSION AND JEALOUSY"

For sale

Against the silence of a dark, absolute backdrop, the final act of a pure emotion unfolds: two snow-white hands clasp, with a grace steeped in torment, the memory of what once was.The velvety petals of three roses bloom directly from the skin, as if an extension of the painting’s very soul. On either side, the vibrant, fiery red of the roses and fingernails symbolizes carnal passion—that emotional hurricane that sweeps away and unites two destinies. At the center, set like a painful secret, the yellow rose pulses: it is jealousy, that subtle fire that consumes the mind, an inevitable and visceral emotion that grips the heart in a fierce vice. This painting tells us that love never vanishes into nothingness. When the storm subsides, what remains is not emptiness, but the indelible imprint of an eternal bond: an unbreakable and magnificent union of passion and jealousy.
