Arbor Painting

“Arbor” is the title of the artwork and, in Latin, it means tree. The tree is the central element of the painting. The tree trunk appears as an archetype of verticality, a symbol of ascension. It is linked to life, always growing and evolving. This Painting is inspired by traditional Portuguese gilded carving, widely used in religious art and in the decoration of royal palaces and the nobility, but here it has a more spiritual than religious character. Also closely linked to the Kintsugi technique, the Japanese art of repairing broken pieces with gold and giving them a new life. The gold gives an exquisite touch, in contrast to the simplicity and humility of the natural materials extracted from the earth. Blue symbolizes water, sky and the spiritual world, as well as tranquility, serenity, balance and harmony. There is a connection to the symbolism of gold and blue, with the famous Portuguese expression “gold over blue”, that is, the perfect combination; and the meaning of colors, harmony of opposite and complementary colors. The element of the tree is very strong and present, not only in its visible symbolic representation, but also in the material present in the canvas, which is composed with tree bark and natural materials derived from the earth, properly preserved to last over time. There is an intense relationship with the earth, in the sense of exploring the depths through the roots, through which the trunk is raised, grows and evolves towards the sky.
