The Gold Coast Fig Tree (2025)

Original Fine Art by Ashvin Harrison
A hidden world awaits — where roots hold memories and branches whisper to the sea.

Artwork Description:
The Gold Coast Fig Tree is a captivating original painting by Ashvin Harrison, inviting the viewer into a serene yet surreal journey through time, nature, and place. This piece is a celebration of life’s hidden portals — a moment where the natural and urban worlds blend seamlessly in a dreamlike dance.

At its core stands a majestic fig tree, rendered in Ashvin’s signature coconut charcoal with meticulous hand-brushed realism. Its flowing trunk and entwined roots feel ancient and alive, a timeless sculpture formed from the earth itself.

Bursting above is an expansive canopy of vibrant energy — expressive splashes of turquoise, seafoam green, ocean blues, and inky blacks swirl into a breathtaking fusion. This explosion of colour, created with acrylics and dynamic splatter techniques, evokes the movement of leaves in a salty breeze and the wild rhythm of coastal life.

But the heart of the painting lies in a quiet surprise: an arched wooden door carved into the tree’s trunk, leading to a vivid inner world — a sunlit beach path opening to the iconic skyline of the Gold Coast. It’s a portal to memory, longing, or perhaps a dream yet to be lived.

The Gold Coast Fig Tree is more than a landscape — it’s an emotional bridge between grounded reality and escapist wonder. A timeless moment, rendered with modern mastery.
