Abstract

GARCIA PERERA, José Manuel. The root of the constellations: The tree as an icon in María Ortega Estepa's dreamed landscape. Estúdio [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.8, pp.253-258. ISSN 1647-6158.

This article approaches the figure of Spanish artist María Ortega through the study of the role played by the tree as an icon in her work. This symbol materializes a life journey full of personal memories but also raises a reflection on human condition. Nearby things and distant things, plant life and constellations, come together to configure the inner landscape of our own existence.

Keywords : painting; sculpture; nature; tree.
