Little withered trees

"Withered trees", oil and pencil on paper. 21 x 15 cm, 2014.

The structure of a tree is simple and curious: some ramifications in the air to catch the light, some branching underground to pick up the food. But branches and roots are similar: both are developed linearly, until at a certain point, following an algorithm written in the genetic code of the plant, they split, bifurcate, or are tripled, growing in space with a progress which will be sensitive to obstacles of soil or climatic conditions of the place. The drawing of the bare branches and of the roots, flattened by the simplicity of a pattern in pencil, creates an embroidery, an imaginary warping which can be generated countless times, always different.




The first of these paintings has already been sold. The last three paintings are still available for sale at the price of 120 US$ each one. Contact me in case you are interested in more information about my work, the sales prices of individual works, or the availability for work on graphics.
