The painting titled "Trees" exemplifies Symbolism, a late 19th-century movement that sought to express absolute truths through metaphorical images. Created with watercolor, it captures a thoughtful Landscape composed of towering, stylized paper-like trees. Instead of realistic depiction, the artist emphasizes symbolic meaning, inviting viewers to interpret the scene beyond mere naturalism. This work reflects the movement’s intent to communicate deeper spiritual or emotional truths, using the natural forms of trees as metaphors for life's complexity and the subconscious.
