Wherever I Go I Carry This Rose

“In this painting, the Ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite is pictured holding a pink rose. The rose is a symbol of the seeds of love and wisdom that were planted generations ago, that have created and shaped who we are. It is a reminder of the beauty and wisdom we carry within, and to allow it to blossom to discover the true Self. You will bloom, in divine time like the rose.” ~ artist Leni Kae.

From the series titled “Journeys Through Consciousness”, a new series by Greek-Australian artist Leni Kae. The series explores the journey of conscious awakening through the stories of the artist’s Greek Ancestors. The journey explored is one which leads to spiritual growth – an expansion in connection with the inner landscape, connection with nature, and essentially coming home to ‘Self’.
