Artist's Comments

this was done with black ink...the dots were a pain.
i do like it though, because i do like celtic knots a lot. also, i like trees. :-)

pretty much everybody who has seen this image has commented that it is the "tree of life", and i guess it could go by that title too. trees often represent life, after all, as do celtic knots. the way knots never have a beginning or end represents the cyclic nature of life.


thanks for taking a look.

yeah, you're right. i DO have a larger version somewhere, but i just can't find it. perhaps i deleted it by mistake?
at some point i'll add the larger version!

Hypnotic vision of roots and the style of those leave in small bits. The dark sky gives no indication of light source, because it’s not a real sky, same for the ground. I like how the roots twist themselves in symbolic signs, or just signs of beautiful patterns of protection in connectivity that everything is connected, even life itself, from one to another. In this huge spring, of endless trace: from the very first to the very last person that had ever lived. It's good, and keeping it like this also brings out the surrealistic effect. Keep it up.

lol. i'd like to say i planned it that way, leodadominico, but it was just one of those things that starred out by itself without me knowing where it was headed.
thanks for your comment!

The details are really amazing, though I have to say I'd love to see it bigger. It's powerful.
