Trees have long been a powerful symbol in art, representing life, strength, growth, and the cyclical nature of existence. From ancient spiritual connections to modern environmental concerns, artists have depicted trees as living metaphors for human experiences. Whether through the lush landscapes of Romanticism, the symbolism in religious iconography, or contemporary environmental art, trees continue to reflect our relationship with the natural world. In their many forms, they offer a visual language for themes of connection, resilience, and transformation.
