“Tree of Life” is a textured, emotive work that reimagines the tree as a living symbol of memory, ancestry, and quiet strength. Inspired by a childhood moment of planting a mango sapling with his father, artist Bhaskara Rao layers paint instinctively, allowing the tree to emerge from the canvas with sculptural depth and presence. With colors ranging from soft greys to bold, unexpected hues, the piece invites viewers to reflect on their own ties to nature and heritage. It offers a moment of calm in a noisy world, gently reminding us of what we risk losing to modern life.
