A story of the forest

50x61cm Mixed media and oil on gallery wrapped canvas. 

A Story of the Forest is a dreamlike journey into the heart of nature, inspired by Mihai Eminescu’s hauntingly beautiful poem Ce te legeni, codrule? Like Eminescu’s verses, this painting captures the quiet dialogue between the forest and the wind, between ancient trees and the unseen forces that shape them.

Drenched in deep greens and golden light, the scene breathes with a gentle melancholy, as if the forest itself holds a secret—one of longing, patience, and the passage of time. The trees sway softly, whispering stories of centuries past, of seasons that come and go, of life and memory woven into the roots of the earth.

Through fluid brushstrokes and an almost ethereal glow, A Story of the Forest is not just a landscape—it is a living poem, an invitation to listen to the soul of the woods, to feel their quiet sadness and enduring strength, and to lose oneself in the eternal embrace of nature’s wisdom.
