​

there is something unspeakable about amélie barnathan's drawing. with a lively line driven by color, and crossed by fantasies, she tells us stories in which the flowers and here more particularly the roses act as intermediaries. amélie barnathan brings all human emotions to life in her roses and enlivens them through her unique use of color. her red roses are here deliberately chosen, not for their decorative aspect but for their narrative force.
