Painting description

On the canvas, gray-green, earthy tones blend with a creamy background, through which white and graphite veins of trees wind, like the nerves of the forest. The composition is based on the diagonal lines of roots, drawing the eye into the milky mist at its center. Paint, applied in thick impasto layers, scraped and pushed with a palette knife, creates rough, almost lifelike textures. The atmosphere is damp and unsettling, yet also slightly hypnotic. This tree has large roots and is haunting. The style balances between expressionism and fairy-tale surrealism, a kind of wildness. I feel a shiver, then curiosity, as a creature, perhaps just a shadow, emerges from the darkness. It could truly be a place of memory and decay, but also of stubborn persistence. Interpretation is open, each adding their own whisper.
