Welcome!

Take a moment to immerse yourself in this striking woodland scene. At first glance, you’ll notice it’s not your typical forest painting. There’s something dreamlike here — the trees don’t quite behave like real trees, and the colors aren’t what you’d expect. That’s exactly what makes this piece so compelling.

This work draws from early 20th-century European modernism, especially the German Expressionists and Fauvist painters. Those movements broke away from realism and embraced raw emotion through color, shape, and rhythm. The artist here isn’t trying to show you what a forest looks like, but rather what it feels like — wild, vivid, full of energy.

Check out how the tree trunks are painted in bold, unnatural hues — deep blues, fiery reds, and electric greens — almost like the forest is alive and pulsing with color. And notice how the background melts into washes of cool tones. It’s more of a memory or a sensation than a clear, defined space.

You might say it’s part landscape, part emotional landscape.

How does this forest feel to you — peaceful, mysterious, or maybe even a little wild?
