Ceiba. Tree of Universe

This work explores the Ceiba, the sacred Tree of Life, as a symbol of connection between the visible and invisible worlds. The monumental photographic image presents the tree not simply as a natural form, but as a presence—an axis linking earth and sky, matter and spirit.

The painted side panels extend the image beyond its frontal surface. Flowing organic patterns and branching forms evoke growth, transformation, and the continuity of life. As in the tradition of the icon, the work moves beyond representation toward revelation, inviting contemplation rather than narration.

Photography and painting enter into dialogue, creating an object that unfolds through space and requires the viewer’s movement. The image is no longer confined to a single perspective but becomes an immersive experience, where the symbolic and the material coexist.

Rooted in both sacred imagery and contemporary artistic language, Ceiba – Tree of Life reflects on the enduring power of nature as a site of memory, presence, and spiritual connection.
