“En China, el sauce llorón es símbolo de inmortalidad y renacimiento. En otros lugares, los sauces aparecen en la mitología y la literatura como símbolos de curación, vida eterna y, a veces, dolor. Quise pintar el sauce como símbolo mundial del círculo de la vida.”

“In China, the weeping willow is a symbol of immortality and rebirth. Elsewhere, willows feature in mythology and literature as symbols of healing, everlasting life and sometimes grief. I wanted to paint the willow as a worldwide symbol of the circle of life.”
