About the artwork

Amid the vast fields of Heers, where the horizon seems to merge into a grey, melancholy sky, stands a lone tree. The landscape is serene, almost untouched, with only a gently sloping lawn stretching to the edge of the picture. The tree, firmly rooted in the earth, seems to be the only witness to time slipping by. Its branches stretch out like a natural crown, slightly bent by the wind and the weight of the seasons.

An old wire fence runs seemingly endlessly along the field, a subtle dividing line marking natural and human intervention. Yet the tree, indifferent to boundaries, has found its place at the edge of this boundary. Its presence exudes a quiet strength, as if it holds a secret known only to the fields and the sky.

The sky is heavy and overcast, but not threatening. The soft, diffuse light emphasises the simplicity of the scene. There are no distractions, no rush - just the timeless tranquillity of the countryside. The tree symbolises resilience and solitude, a reminder that beauty often lies in life's smallest, quietest moments.

This picture has special power in an interior because it conveys a sense of calm, simplicity and natural beauty. The image captures the essence of stillness and timelessness, which can serve as a calming and contemplative element in a space. The minimalist character, with the lone tree and the soft, natural tones of green and grey, ensures that the image is not overwhelming, but rather remains subtly present.
