My Tree of Life

Gouache on canvas

For this piece I wanted to try representing my life and the connection I have to things around me and the things I create. This painting depicts the tree of life or Yggrasil, this tree is surrounded by many different creatures of Greek mythology, some representing aspects of my life. I have depicted the tree with an anatomical heart in the middle to represent that it is my life. In this piece, I wanted to create 9 different paintings that when they came together, create one whole image.
