Poppies

Wild poppies have always carried a special beauty — simple field flowers that stand out through their intense red color and delicate form. For centuries, red poppies have appeared in art and culture as symbols of love, longing, courage, and the fleeting nature of life. They grow freely in open fields, unprotected, yet unforgettable, and that quiet strength is at the heart of this work.
The painting is created on eco-friendly wood, where the natural grain becomes a calm, warm backdrop rather than a sign of age. An antique door handle is carefully incorporated, turning the surface into the image of a door — a threshold between presence and absence. The poppies appear as if they were placed there by someone who came and waited. Perhaps no one answered. Perhaps the visitor hesitated, or chose not to enter. The flowers remain as a silent sign: I was here.
By combining painting with sculptural elements, the artwork transforms a simple floral motif into a personal gesture frozen in time. It speaks about human connection, quiet emotions, and the stories that everyday objects can hold when they are touched by intention.
