Purple Roses

Description of Art: Purple Roses reveals a softer, more romantic side of Michael Godard’s signature style while still carrying his playful pop-art spirit. In this piece, lush purple roses bloom vividly against a dark, dramatic background, their velvety petals painted with luminous highlights that make them appear almost three-dimensional.

True to Godard’s world, his iconic olives may also make a subtle appearance—perhaps nestled among the blossoms or interacting with them in humorous ways—adding a touch of whimsy to the otherwise romantic theme. The contrast between the deep background and the glowing purples and greens creates both elegance and vibrancy.

With Purple Roses, Godard balances beauty and comedy, offering a visual toast to love and passion. The work transforms a timeless floral symbol into a witty, contemporary story that is both heartfelt and entertaining.
