Cocoa Tree

canvas, mixed media, 80x120 cm, 2022

This artwork, painted in acrylic on canvas, presents an abstract interpretation of an exotic forest. Through rhythmic lines and the flowing interweaving of golden branches emerges the image of the cacao tree, filled with sacred fruits. Within this organic composition, birds can be discerned — guides between the earth and the heavens. Their presence emphasizes the sacred meaning: the tree appears here as the center of the universe, connecting different levels of existence. Vivid, saturated colors — purples, turquoise, reds, and gold — create a sense of inner radiance and a mystical space. Cacao, long revered as a divine drink, becomes a symbol of spiritual nourishment and the human bond with the cosmos. The painting unites ritual depth with a contemporary abstract language, where nature, symbolism, and mythology are interwoven into a single harmony.
