Plants in a Portal, Roses
$1,618.00
"Roses," by Ken Kammal, is a 20" x 16" acrylic painting that radiates the layered emotional power and timeless beauty of one of the world’s most iconic blooms. Symbolizing love, mystery, and transformation, the rose in this work transcends cliché to evoke a deeper, soulful resonance—an invitation to contemplate the cycles of affection, pain, and renewal. Completed in 2024, this painting belongs to the Plants in a Portal collection, where each plant form becomes a symbol of sacred passage.
Framed in a 3-inch wide gold-painted wooden frame with a raised, rounded top edge, this solid wood frame—gesso-coated for a smooth finish—complements the piece with classic elegance. The overall effect is one of intimacy and reverence, evoking both personal memory and archetypal emotion.
