  • Valentine. Tender love. 70X50 oil, Valentine’s Day gifts art
    Located in Sempach, LU
    In this enchanting oil painting, I've captured the tender essence of love through a romantic bouquet of roses. Every stroke is infused with impassioned energy, embodying fine art and impressionistic flair. The symbolic heart shape formed by the flowers represents a timeless love, exuding a sense of vintage charm and warmth. This artwork carries an uplifting energy that will bring a heartfelt atmosphere into any space, inviting viewers to connect with the enduring beauty of affection. The peculiarity of this work is that I encoded in the painting the text addressed to you: "With love, Elena Lukina."
