Behind the artwork
a vibrant tapestry of symbolism and natural beauty
The artwork for “The Knotted Tree and Golden Lark” is a vibrant tapestry of symbolism and natural beauty, merging the cultural significance of the Lunar New Year with the pristine landscapes of Tasmania.
At the heart of the design is the Knotted Tree, born from a red oriental thread blown by southerly winds, that finds its place in Tasmania’s fertile soil. This tree, a beacon of happiness, prosperity, and love, blossoms with fruits and flowers synonymous with good fortune—rich oranges, delicate peonies, and cherry blossoms. The Tasmanian landscape, depicted in a modern elegant way, serves as the perfect backdrop, grounding the mystical elements in the real-world beauty of the island.
Menghui, the artist behind The Knotted Tree and Golden Lark, is a Chinese artist with a specialisation in illustration and VR animation, currently based in Helsinki. Her name, 梦慧 (Menghui), meaning “dream” and “wisdom,” reflects her artistic pursuit of creating fantastical worlds through a blend of imagination and wisdom.
Silky, rich and great depth
