Rose is a hand-painted reverse glass artwork inspired by classic tattoo iconography and vintage decorative arts. Rich crimson petals are intertwined with flowing gold details, creating a striking contrast against the reflective glass surface.
Painted in reverse on glass using techniques rooted in the historic craft of reverse glass signwriting, the piece combines bold graphic lines with delicate detailing. The mirrored surface of water gilding 23 carat gold leaf adds depth and luminosity, allowing the colours and accents to shift subtly with changing light.
The painted image sits on the front glass panel, while the dark glitter backing is set behind it, creating a subtle three-dimensional effect
Each piece is created by hand, embracing the character and individuality that comes from a heritage craft. A contemporary interpretation of a timeless symbol, Rose explores themes of beauty, resilience, and permanence through the enduring motif of the rose.
Materials: Reverse-painted glass, 23 carat gold leaf (water gilded), enamel paint, glitter, timber frame
Dimensions: 18 x 18 cm (framed)
Framed and ready to hang/display
(Water gilding gives a mirror effect)
Handcrafted using traditional reverse glass signwriting techniques, helping to preserve an endangered heritage craft.
