Aida’s Description: What does love look like? For me, it is an ever-changing, blossoming garden — one that grows gently over time, revealing new colors as the relationship evolves. The variety of flowers in this painting symbolizes that unfolding — the beauty of love as it matures. I chose soft, calming tones rather than bold, bright colors because to me, real love is not overwhelming or explosive. It is not love-bombing. It is steady, nourishing, and rooted — a kind of love that lasts.
