She stands in Bloom - Madame Petit

A standing figure is left bare and white against a dense wall of roses in red, orange, yellow and brown, their leaves pushing in from every side. Painted roses and long green stems cross over the white body, and a cluster of blooms sits where the head meets the flowers, so the figure reads as an outline the garden grows through.

Painted in oil on canvas with thick, worked brushstrokes. Madame Petit is the work of Shjazz, a visual artist, jazz vocalist, poet and drama educator in Groningen, who works in oils, acrylics, photography and mixed media around identity, growth and freedom. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
