The presence of trees in paintings can carry many meanings — strength, resilience, or even a self-portrait, expressing the artist’s solitude. At the same time, trees often symbolize spirituality and the soul’s ascension. The loose, sketch-like brushstrokes in this painting stand in striking contrast to the tree’s old age and its vast, majestic canopy.
