As Sonia often says “I have an obsession with painting roses”. Although roses are a classic, the artist loves the idea of capturing them in their non perfect state.

Perhaps they symbolize the artist's stage of life. The stage when one understands that beauty goes far beyond absolute perfection. A stage in which we accept and love ourselves with all our flaws.
