This stunning installation turns a bedroom wall into a peaceful sanctuary. It features a beautifully detailed tree that looks like it has been carved by hand right into the stone of the room. The trunk has smooth, flowing curves that lead up to “puffy” clusters of leaves, created with thousands of tiny textured dots that catch the light perfectly.
Because the artwork is the exact same color as the wall, it feels like a “hidden” masterpiece that only reveals its full detail when the warm, glowy lights around the arch are turned on. It is an incredibly calming piece that brings a sense of old-world elegance and nature-inspired peace to a modern, quiet space.
Medium: Plaster relief
Technique: “Bas-relief” hand-sculpting featuring intricate “stippling” for foliage and smooth trowel-work for the trunk and branches
Finish: Seamless matte bone-white finish with a soft, velvet-like texture that absorbs and diffuses light
Form: A vertical, arched wall installation featuring a high-relief, stylized ancient tree that appears to grow directly out of the architecture
