A heart beats inside a tree. At its ends the magic. Beyond the truth. Painting of the series "The garden that I am", dedicated to being honest with yourself, cultivating your own garden and living in harmony with the soul of the Earth, because ecological identity arises when your consciousness extends to other lives. This work explores the fusion between man and Nature, creating a visual narrative that speaks of coexistence and integration. The realistic and highly symbolic figure embodies the symbiotic relationship we feel with the environment around us, while the surreal underlines the beauty and wonder that this bond evokes, reminding each of us of the amazement of childhood, adult introspection and a sense of oneness with the natural world... Acrylic colors and ink on 100% cotton canvas. The edges are painted so the painting can be hung without frame. The surface is finished with a double layer of a water-based satin varnish, which makes it resistant to UV rays and the passage of time. www.federicabelloli.com @federicabellolipainter
