Introduction
In "Old Tree," Sergei Pietilä uses dense brushstrokes and layered colors to depict a landscape shaped by time. The towering trees stand like guardians in the foreground, obscuring yet guiding toward the ancient buildings behind. Light filters through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the red brick walls and distant spires with a subtle warmth among the greenery. The overall composition exudes a tranquil and steady atmosphere, making the viewer feel as if they are immersed in a wordless fragment of history.
