TOUCHED BY A ROSE

1995, Oil on Canvas, 20 x 16 in. (50.7 x 40.6 cm.)

The mystery of the eternal feminine is addressed by Conine in this stylish yet profound view of human nature. The artist invents a narrative focusing on an emotional state. Against a glowing, contemporary background, framed by a vine symbolizing endless life, a beautiful woman pauses over a cup of coffee to contemplate live and love, symbolized by the single red rose. The swirling exaggeration of figure and interior reflect the peace and joy of the subject.
