My artistic idea for this painting was to create a minimalist representation in which I can convey a strong statement about the theme of love and waiting through the deliberate selection of the core elements of the composition. I wanted to focus on the state of a woman who is waiting for her love and perceives everything else as unimportant. In my interpretation, she resembles a bird with her "flying" dress, eagerly rushing toward the sailing ship where her love resides. The red rose, as a symbol of love, stands at the center of the composition and enhances the theme. The stylized representation of the woman and the connection to natural motifs such as the bird and the sea create a subtle and profound layer of meaning that encourages the viewer to reflect and allows space for personal interpretations. For this artwork, I painted with oil colors on a canvas measuring 60 x 80 x 1.8 cm. This traditional technique allowed me to develop the depth and vibrancy of the image.
