The painting captures the essence of one life's journey through the imagery of a majestic tree. Its thick branches, adorned with vibrant leaves symbolise the myriad influences and identities that shape our lives—motherhood, entrepreneurship, love, and friendship—each branch representing a unique facet of who we are.
The backdrop of soft lavender blue symbolises spirituality, tranquility and peace. This delicate hue contrasts with the vibrant colours of the leaves.
The branches ascend and descend in a dance reminiscent of life's unpredictable path. Rather than adhering to a straight line, they twist and turn, echoing the inherent complexities of our experiences. This serves as a poignant reminder that despite the detours and challenges we encounter, we ultimately arrive at our destinations, shaped and enriched by our journeys.
The branches extend outward, crossing over a window that symbolizes the soul—an open portal to life’s boundless joys. This openness encourages the viewer to embrace the present moment and appreciate the vibrant colors that permeate life’s tapestry. Even when the end may seem distant, the richness of our experiences and the beauty in the everyday is an invitation to find joy in the process.
Surrounding the tree, the lively colors evoke a sense of celebration, resembling a carnival or festival. This vibrant energy invites us to adopt a lighter perspective on life, where we can let go of serious burdens and embrace the sheer joy of existence. By choosing to view life as a celebration, we cultivate gratitude for each moment, encouraging us to fully engage with everything that life has to offer.
Ultimately, "Marrakesh" is a heartfelt invitation to celebrate our own life’s journey, to cherish every twist and turn, and to find light and joy amidst it all.
