Shades of Life

This innovative painting done by Oz El Hai, crafted on a beautifully curved wooden canvas,
intertwines artistic creativity with deep spiritual symbolism.
The painting and its seamlessly integrated frame are both painted in a pure white car paint,
topped with a lacquer layer for a smooth, reflective finish,
enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the artwork.
At the heart of the painting is the Tree of Life, a central motif in both Israeli culture and Jewish spirituality,
symbolizing growth, renewal, and the interconnectedness of all life.
The base of the tree is uniquely constructed from real paint tubes,
representing the foundation of creativity and expression.
Rising from this artistic base are black and white 3D metal butterflies,
fluttering upwards, symbolizing transformation and the soul's journey.
This painting is a striking representation of the Tree of Life,
reimagined in a modern context, resonating with the themes of life,
continuity, and the enduring spirit of the Jewish people and the land of Israel.
