Flowers have played an enduring role in the tapestry of art history, serving as eternal muses for countless masterpieces. From the lush blooms of Dutch still lifes to the delicate petals adorning Impressionist canvases, artists have been captivated by the fleeting beauty of flowers. Beyond mere decoration, flowers often carry symbolic weight, representing love, transience, or the cycles of nature. From the vibrant floral abundance in Monet's works to the surreal floral dreams of Dali, the language of flowers continues to flourish in the vast garden of artistic expression.
"In my series of paintings, each flower is a tale of love—an embodiment of my passion and unwavering devotion to art. These flowers transcend mere visual splendor; they are the incarnation of my artistic journey."

A prophet of useless beauty, Kuzma pollinates his metaphysical field, where each flower is a tale of unbroken love.
Here, rectangular shapes of gold hover over a red expanse, evoking Byzantine halos and the promise of transcendence.
Black lines rise like stems, bearing witness to love’s persistence in the face of oblivion.
What at first appears to be an abstract floral arrangement gradually reveals itself as a personal cosmology.
In this chromatic trinity, a solitary blue square disrupts the liturgical rhythm.
Beneath it — the artist’s tears. This is love after loss, or love already aware of its own ephemerality.
The work reclaims for contemporary art what was thought lost: the possibility of aura, of raw authenticity, of belief reborn.
It does not parody ritual; it enacts it.
It does not depict intimacy; it embodies it.
It dares to turn a private wound into a shrine, a cry into a structure — love and grief into a geometry of devotion.
