Painting description

In the image we see a mysterious scene against a deep, navy night backdrop, studded with tiny stars. It is a true starlit sky. At the center, the main motif is a sprawling tree, around which coils a snake of uncertain intent. Its bright green color contrasts with the dark bark, creating an almost magnetic tension. On the left stands a figure in a golden robe, whose halo shines like the sun, holding a chalice like a mystical relic. The atmosphere of the painting is at once calm and unsettling. It may evoke an ancient legend or a biblical parable. The artist employed the tempera technique, which lends the surface of the canvas softness and subtlety. Looking at this scene, one can feel a strange kind of nostalgia and wonder about the inevitability of life’s choices. “Is this the tree where a fairy lives?” a child might ask. Using various shades of blue, the artist has created a deep, almost three-dimensional effect that draws the viewer into the painting. Individual emotions may range from a sense of peace to hidden dread. It is a true journey for the eye and the mind.
