About the Item
Artist Comments
Seven red roses delicately cling to their slender stems and sparse bush. The bright sunlight illuminates their vivid presence, imbuing the garden scene with a classical and timeless charm. The grisaille underpainting and the glaze layers add luminous and vibrant touches to the piece. For artist Hilary Gomes, this serves as a metaphor for life and love.
About the Artist
Artist Hilary Gomes draws inspiration from her visits to Filoli Gardens to create a series of sunlit rose paintings. "Capturing the ephemeral beauty of blooming flowers serves as a metaphor for life, love, and family," says Hilary. She incorporates traditional French and Flemish methods with contemporary techniques to express transient nature and emotions. Hilary received her MFA in Painting and serves as the chair of the Department of Art at a college in Los Altos, California. She alternately works in her art studio on the first floor of her house and in her backyard, both of which provide her with the company of nature. When she's not painting, Hilary loves spending time with her children, practicing mindfulness, and traveling to California beach towns with her family.
