This work intertwines nature with the traces of time, positioning the viewer on the threshold between dream and reality. At the center of the composition, the misty tree symbolizes serenity and the continuity of nature, while the textured, cracked surfaces surrounding it reveal the inevitable passage of time. From the right side, embossed ivy branches extend into the scene, embodying nature’s resilience and its ability to reclaim and redefine surfaces.
The layered construction of the painting – the tranquil inner landscape and the weathered outer frame – raises a central question: What is more real, the imagined scenery or the tangible marks of time? This duality generates a constant tension between dream and reality, permanence and transience, nature and man-made boundaries.
The artwork not only provides a visual encounter but also invites the viewer to reflect on their own cycles of life, memories, and perception of time.
