Statement

My figurative work explores the uncertainty of liminal psychological-emotional spaces. Informed by dynamic tension between known and imagined, control and chance, order and chaos, subjects may be grounded in realism yet contexts
remain intentionally ambiguous. It is in these turbulent zones beyond the logical
or familiar that expectations are disrupted, suggesting thresholds of emergent potential for growth and change.
"Rosen's compelling figure paintings explore life, relationship, time and the uncertainty inherent in all these things. They create a sense of mystery." L. Crouch, Senior Editor, Pastel Journal
