Annual Ring of the Tree of Life (magnet)

"Annual Ring of the Tree of Life" (2004) is the first monumental colored pencil drawing created live in public by Marie Brožová. The event took place in Prague's Old Town Square at the beginning of her long-term project The Defense of Colored Pencils, proving the grand, oil-painting-like depth that can be achieved with this humble medium. The original artwork is an impressive A0 format, measuring 118.9 × 84.1 cm (46.8 × 33.1 inches). 

The Story Behind the Art

The Tree of Life symbolizes humanity. Our roots run deep into the past, drawing strength and ancestral wisdom from the world below. Just as a tree reaches its branches toward the heavens, we seek inspiration in a world of dreams and visions, striving to manifest them here on Earth. This is where we live our lives, where seasons change, and where time flows.
