Artwork title : Forest Angel

70 cm x 50 cm natural materials, wood, feathers, structure, acrylic paints on canvas

Forest Angel is a poetic interpretation of humanity's connection with nature, presented through mixed media art. The central form, resembling both a tree and a figure, rises from the earth like an ancient forest spirit—a being formed from bark, moss, feathers, and light. Its arms form green crowns, containing the life force and breath of nature. The feathers floating around symbolize lightness and transience. A crown of delicate, skeletal leaves above the figure's head evokes a spiritual aura, an energetic manifestation of harmony with nature. The background, reminiscent of wood, suggests that the figure emerges directly from the forest, as if personifying it.
