It's a painting about an old, iconic concept, revitalized through a personal new interpretation. I named it Tree of life - Amended for precisely that reason.
It tells the story of the depth of life and its power to make the universal contraries coexist.
The trunk is created out of naked bodies of women holding one another with enormous strength, but at the same time tremendous grace, as if they were dancing.
Their stem-arms are holding the branches, full of seeds, the seeds the world is growing from. We can see its veins and muscle tension throughout its height.
The background is a powerful dichotomy of passionate red and profound blue. The red represents sinful fantasy and love, in contrast to the cool blue that represents unquestionable reason and reality.
The four dark faces are the unknown observers who are from all four winds watching how the life flows through the tree of life. The painting concentrates on a single focal point - my eye, which is watching unobstructed and free, over the entire story…but the eye is also watching you from inside the painting, without blinking for most of you...for now…
