About this artwork
The work is a metaphorical representation of a world in which the struggle for survival is intertwined with the beauty of nature. At the center of the painting, an arbutus tree stretches and twists, a living symbol of resilience, of its desire to grow and thrive, despite adversity. Beneath this branch, a deep, tranquil pond reflects a clear sky, revealing its own history. Here, carp and catfish share the same space, a seemingly peaceful scene that…
hides a silent struggle for survival. The moths, fascinated by the golden fruits of the strawberry tree, dance lightly on the surface of the water, becoming inevitable prey for hungry fish. This dynamic tells the story of the eternal competition between life and death. At the edge of the painting, succulent plants host among their thorns a fragile and precious nest that holds promising eggs, a symbol of hope and the continuity of life.
