Dark Blue Tree of Life

Done by Oz El Hai,
This contemporary painting reimagines the Tree of Life with an innovative twist,
utilizing curved shape wood as its canvas.
The background, coated in white car paint, achieves lustrous sheen with a protective lacquer finish that enhances its visual depth.
At the base, dark blue oil paint is elegantly accented by a silver stripe,
symbolizing a foundation of strength and resilience.
Emerging from this solid groundwork, the tree itself is a dynamic assembly of 3D colorful metal butterflies,
each adding a vibrant burst of life and representing the tree's foliage.
This artistic choice bridges the organic with the manufactured,
illustrating the blend of tradition and modernity.
The connection to Israel is subtly woven through the symbolism of growth,
renewal, and the enduring spirit of the Israeli people. By choosing not to frame the piece,
the artist emphasizes its readiness to integrate into any space,
reflecting Israel's openness and adaptability in the face of challenges.
