InstrumenTree

InstrumentTree. Oil on canvas, 50.5x40 cm.
This painting attempts to represent a form of communion between music and nature, a theme that haunts me and I'll return in future paintings. The "InstrumenTree" is inhabited by a goblin that provides the necessary magic to bear fruit in the form of musical instruments, and blades are hands, swaying in the wind, produce their sounds.
