Your personal style will shine through in the way you use your own imagination and creativity in wearing these pieces.
ROSARIUM
The collection is dedicated to the rose. The rose has a remarkably long history, longer than mankind. The primary rose hips, the predecessors of today’s roses, were found among 35-million-year-old fossils, but it was only with people’s aid that the rose was able to show its beauty and charm. Attention, care and admiration gave it the strength to evolve into one of the most beautiful flowers.
In the process of care and attention that we humans have offered to roses repeatedly, from generation to generation, what we have attained is the flourishing of ever novel blossoms, in an ever-richer palette of colors and scents, offering us a mirror in which we have encountered the experience of perfection, with a touch of beauty that transcends the limits of the tangible. The rose has become a symbol of noteworthy moments in our lives, an expression of the deepest feelings. As such it is woven into our cultural heritage. Printed on a silk square, it whispers stories between the past and the future, between the seen and the dreams to come.
Mr. Gary Bukovnik, an internationally renowned painter, created the images of the roses. Mr. Sašo Urukalo, graphic designer, placed the images on a silk square.
They are printed in a limited edition, with a certificate of authenticity and signed by the author.
ICONOTHECA VALVASORIANA

Gary Bukovnik, the author of Rosarium Collection Motifs
Gary Bukovnik has devoted his life to flowers: he developed an extraordinary universal visual language in which floral images speak to us with directness and beauty and invite us into the depths of our experience, radiating kindness, gratitude, and joy. Few artists paint roses: they carry overpowering symbolism, and—as people say—it is difficult to surpass the beauty of the bloom; Gary Bukovnik began painting roses in his seventies.
