Hilton Edwards - tree series

"By stripping away the distraction of leaves, I reveal the raw beauty and vulnerability of these winter trees, reminding us that true strength lies in embracing our unique imperfections."

As an artist, I've always been fascinated by the majesty and resilience of trees. When I started painting them, I became more observant of their presence and appearance, realizing that each tree is unique, with its own character and story to tell.

This series is inspired by the winter trees, stripped of their leaves, revealing their true structure and vulnerabilities. I'm captivated by the way these ancient beings, some hundreds of years old, remain steadfast in one spot, enduring the harsh elements of nature.

In this series of abstract mixed media trees, I aim to capture the essence of these winter trees, highlighting their intricate branch patterns, rugged trunks, and the delicate balance between strength and fragility.

Each piece in this series is a testament to the individuality of these natural wonders, inviting the viewer to contemplate their own resilience and unique beauty.
