Black Swan Appearance Painting

For me, Nassim Nicholas Taleb is probably one of the most influential thinker-writers of the last years. Although at first, I didn't like his writing style at all, but then I got over myself and stopped paying attention to his horribly clumsy style of writing and saw the extraordinary human depth and real knowledge lived and thought through the author's personal experience. Many things have formed in my head thanks to his texts. In this way, life experiences and inner feelings are validated in the thoughts of another person and become not just your subjective world, but something more universal. They become Knowledge. From the moment I finished reading his first book “The Black Swan”, that image never left me. I thought about my "black swans"; about friends with whom events close to mini-catastrophes occurred; and about larger events affecting the fates of many people, which are almost impossible to foresee until they manifest themselves. Thus, a black, beautiful, proud bird has also become for me a symbol of extremely rare, dangerous and in its uniqueness beautiful events. This is my first attempt at depicting a black swan. My painting shows a corner of a garden at night with a blooming rosebush, out of the darkness of which a black swan appears, or maybe disappears. Please admit that there is something magical about summer nights: standing in the middle of a garden, inhaling the sweet scent of roses already blooming, shuddering at the occasional rustle of leaves and trying to see what the darkness hides. Personally, I prefer to send oil paintings stretched on a frame, but over a long distance this can significantly increase the cost of shipping. Therefore, I suggest, at the request of the client, if the work allows (not all works can be removed from the stretcher and twisted), remove the canvas from the stretcher and send it rolled in a tube. This will save you a considerable amount of money. Please let me know if you are satisfied with my offer.
