Christian Rosa — Flora or Floral
Christian Rosa

Flora or Floral

Christian Rosa's *Flora* is a dynamic and gestural composition that layers oil stick, oil paint, pencil, charcoal, and oil on canvas, creating a richly textured surface alive with expressive mark-making. Rosa's signature improvisational approach is evident in the interplay of bold, sweeping lines and delicate traces, evoking organic forms that feel both spontaneous and deliberate. The work pulses with energy, its fragmented imagery suggesting floral or natural references while remaining firmly rooted in abstraction.
