ABOUT BLQCK ROSE

MY STORY

Quinn Jackson, known by his artist name “Blqck Rose,” is an artist born in Den Helder on March 13, 1994. He began customizing denim jackets in 2018. Within a year of launching his brand, he had the opportunity to create custom art for multiple celebrities, including Floyd Mayweather, The Game, Aubameyang, Blueface, Marcel van Luit, Hakim Ziyech.

In 2019, during the pandemic, he discovered his true passion: painting on canvas.

From a young age, Blqck Rose was always a dreamer. Fascinated by alternate worlds, movies, cartoon characters, and above all, medieval and fantasy realms. That early fascination grew into the love and passion that fuels his work to this day.

Over the years, he has explored many different methods and mediums: custom clothing, digital art, acrylic paints, oil paints, and wood. But one element remains at the heart of his creations, his signature roses.

Through his characters, Blqck Rose is slowly building his own universe, “A Roses Tale.” This story is told through the eyes of his alter ego, Spikey - or as he describes it, himself in another universe. Working mostly from imagination, he ensures every piece remains unique and authentic. Each painting serves as a window into this evolving world, captured with precision, emotion, and fine detail, as he continues to expand his ever-growing universe.

WHY THE BLACK ROSE?

The black rose is dedicated to the name of his loving grandmother (beautiful thriving rose) who pasted away late 2021. It stands for loss, mortality, grief & death, but these dark days we face as human beings will also show us the right path to becoming anything we want in life. Because every ending is a new beginning and a opportunity to grow and thrive.

"For every Black Rose A teardrop is made, and a teardrop will fade.
From that strength grows,
a beautiful thriving rose."
