Hawthorn Bush in Front of a Very Old and Dying Pear Tree, 2019 captures a serene yet poignant scene of nature's life cycle. The artwork features a flourishing hawthorn bush set against the backdrop of an aging pear tree, its gnarled branches reaching towards the sky with sparse, budding foliage. The vibrant greens of the hawthorn contrast with the pear tree’s muted tones, symbolizing renewal amid decline. The simple yet evocative composition invites contemplation of nature’s resilience and transience, adding depth to the piece’s overall tranquility.
