Swirling black lines weave through patches of radiant color—lime green, turquoise, tangerine, violet, and deep red—creating an intricate interplay between structure and spontaneity. At the heart of the painting, a cluster of warm red and orange shapes evokes the presence of a living, pulsating tree, its energy radiating outward in sweeping arcs and tangled gestures.
The background shifts between serene greens and glowing yellows, while the foreground lines create a sense of lively chaos, as if the elements are dancing around a central force. The piece beautifully captures the tension between grounding and flight, between rootedness and imagination.

I love it because it feels like a celebration of life circling a powerful center—chaotic, joyful, full of unexpected rhythms. The tree becomes both anchor and spark, giving structure to the wild forms around it. Creating this piece felt like letting intuition guide every stroke, allowing the colors and lines to find their own harmony in the swirl.
