Faces in the Reef

Faces in the reef is a striking large-scale original measuring 100 x 150 cm, painted on stretched canvas and ready to hang.
This work explores unity, feminine strength, and silent connection beneath the surface.
Five elongated figures emerge from a vibrant underwater world of coral, flowing sea grass, and drifting fish.
The central figure, eyes gently closed, embodies calm and introspection, while the surrounding profiles create a sense of protection and quiet awareness.
Layered oceanic blues form a luminous backdrop, contrasted with electric corals, warm ochres, and fluid organic movement in the foreground.
The composition balances structured line work with expressive colour and texture — a signature element of Rosa’s contemporary style.
Bold yet harmonious, this piece makes a strong statement in modern interiors. Its scale allows it to anchor a living space, dining room, or entryway with both energy and serenity.
An original, one-of-a-kind artwork.
Signed on the front and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
