Trevisan Carlo - Alberi volanti

In this work titled "Flying Trees", Trevisan expands his exploration of the suspension and overturning of the laws of physics, giving us a vision in which nature itself becomes a celestial body traveling through the cosmos of the mind.
The painting depicts a series of lush trees floating in space, rooted not in the ground, but on suspended fragments of rock, resembling asteroids or plant meteorites.
The trees, painted with green and vibrant canopies, draw sap from small islands of rock and earth that drift through the ether. This image suggests that life and beauty are capable of surviving and thriving even in the absence of solid foundations, provided they have a core of "inner Earth" to cling to.
The arrangement of elements at different scales creates a deep three-dimensionality. Some trees appear close and imposing, others distant and tiny, transforming the canvas into an open window onto an infinite and silent universe.
The background leaves behind the clear blue of other works for a deeper, dustier shade, dotted with Trevisan's unmistakable fluffy clouds. The clouds here act as travel companions for the trees, underscoring the aerial and spiritual nature of the entire composition.
The meticulous technique of oil on canvas allows the artist to define every leaf and every edge of the rock with a clarity that makes the impossible real. "Flying Trees" conveys a sense of absolute calm: it is a representation of the resilience of nature and thought, which continue to bloom even when they are uprooted from the material world.
This canvas represents perhaps one of Trevisan's most dreamlike and philosophical visions, an invitation to consider our ideas as seeds capable of creating floating worlds.

Oil painting on canvas mounted on a wooden frame, 50 x 50 x 2.5 cm; painted also on the edge and ready to hang.
