still life TREE OF LIFE (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Yuliia Chaika

Acrylic on canvas, 65x80cm, 2025

This painting is a contemporary interpretation of the ancient symbol of the Tree of Life. From the vase — representing the earth and the source of existence — rise flowers inspired by Ukrainian folk ornament. They connect past and present, creating a visual bridge between tradition and a new artistic vision.

The hands that hold and touch the flowers symbolize care, memory, and the transmission of energy across generations. The background, decorated with ornamental stars, adds a sense of sacredness and recalls the texture of ancient frescoes.

The vivid palette of blues, greens, and reds forms a dynamic composition that embodies harmony between nature, humanity, and cultural roots.
