Tree of Life #3

By Deborah Tavares

An artistic mixed-media representation of a Tree of Life set against a textured black canvas. The Tree: The central figure is a majestic tree with a thick trunk and wide-spreading branches and roots, all rendered in a textured, metallic gold finish. The texture gives it a rugged, bark-like appearance. The Foliage: Instead of leaves, the branches are adorned with a variety of small, polished gemstones in diverse colors, including shades of green, purple, blue, red, and amber. These "leaves" are scattered both on and around the golden branches. The Roots: Below the trunk, the golden roots mirror the complexity of the branches, spreading outward in sharp, organic lines. The Heart: A small, single pinkish-red gemstone is placed at the center of the trunk, serving as a focal point or "heart." Background: The entire piece is set on a dark, finely textured black background that makes the gold and colorful stones pop vividly.
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Dimensions: 12″ X 12″

Quote / Inspiration:

“The Tree of Life hath verily been planted in the heart of the heavenly paradise and bestoweth life in every direction. How can ye fail to perceive and recognize it? It will, in truth, aid thee to grasp all that this well-assured Soul hath disclosed unto thee of the essence of the divine mysteries.”

~Bahá’u’lláh
