Description:

This one-of-a-kind painting is generously donated by the artist. Nercessian attributes her inspiration to a pair of trees seen while snow shoeing. She eloquently defines her interpretation of human characteristics: Arrogance verses Humility. When life’s stormy conflicts arise, the arrogant in nature tend to fall, similar to the overgrown tree, while the meek and humble in nature, weather the storm and remain unshaken.

Art is not about viewing in an empty room, it should be cherished like a captivating poem without words! Bid to own this timeless original painting
with tranquil colors perfect in a home or office!
