Noah › The Dragon Tree

The Dragon Tree

$3,000.00

Acrylic on canvas

18 × 24 inches

Plant life holds great significance in the Bible. When the floodwaters receded, Noah sent out a dove, which returned with an olive leaf in its beak, signifying renewal. The uniquely shaped dragon tree produces a deep crimson sap, long valued for its medicinal properties and as a pigment. When its bark is cut, a thick red liquid, known as dragon’s blood, flows from within. Found only in the Canary Islands, this rare tree is now on the brink of extinction. Inspired by the works of Dutch medieval artist Hieronymus Bosch, this dragon tree serves as a symbolic Tree of Life, evoking the story of the paradise tree of Adam and Eve.
