This beautiful painting by Tanja Ayuk symbolizes her behaviour as a little girl. In her childhood garden, tulips grew, but her impatience often led her to pick them before they fully bloomed. She found beauty in the closed flowers, imagining how stunning they could be on the inside. Her curious fingers would pry them open, revealing what she called "hidden beauty." This early fascination with the unseen and imagined is reflected in the delicate, thoughtful composition of the piece.
