The "Divine Tree" bas-relief sculpture depicts a pomegranate tree, which holds significant symbolism in various cultures and religions. Throughout history, the pomegranate tree has been associated with the sun, representing a divine symbol in ancient Eastern beliefs. The pomegranate fruit itself is considered sacred and is held in high regard across different societies. It is often included in New Year rituals and wedding celebrations, emphasizing its importance in these joyous occasions. The fruit's 613 seeds are believed to represent the 613 commandments of the Torah, signifying holiness and providing a connection to religious teachings and values. Moreover, the pomegranate is considered a symbol of fertility and abundance, representing the cycle of life and growth. Its association with eternity and rebirth further highlights its significance in many cultures. According to wise individuals, having a pomegranate in one's home, even in the form of a painted representation, is believed to bring happiness and peace. This spiritual belief demonstrates the admiration and respect for the pomegranate's symbolic qualities and its ability to create a positive environment.

I try to use an interdisciplinary artistic approach in my work, combining different techniques to create a seamless dialogue between painting and sculpture. As an architect, I need additional volume in my works, making them a true spatial experience.
My interest in developing a thematic composition in an interior suggests a desire to create an immersive environment where wall paintings and sculptures interact as a unified ensemble. The soft shimmer of watercolour provides a gentle, ethereal quality, creating a calming effect, whilst the plasticity of sculpture gives my work a tactile presence.
The use of oil painting to achieve realism in surrealistic subjects demonstrates my and desire to evoke wonder and contemplation. This multi-faceted approach allows me to explore themes dynamically, blurring the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional art and transforming the interior into a poetic, experience-filled environment.
