Carlos Gamez de Francisco | The Age of Trees II | Acrylic on wood | 17 x 30 in | $3,600

In The Age of Trees Series Carlos Gamez de Francisco fuses human identity with the raw wisdom of nature — painting directly onto a cross-section of wood that holds decades of silent memory. A striking woman emerges from the grain, her gaze unwavering, her presence both powerful and serene. Braided hair, ornate gold accents, and delicate butterflies drift across the surface, as if nature itself is taking a breath.

“I started experimenting with painting on wood slices and large-scale canvases, pushing my work in new directions,” says the artist. “I even took my creativity beyond the canvas, painting directly onto walls to break free from traditional boundaries.”

The wood's texture, its weight, its age — it pulls you in. The natural cracks don’t break the image, they complete it. Every line etched into the wood becomes part of the portrait’s pulse. This isn’t just a painting to admire. It’s a portal into another time, another way of seeing, where human and tree share the same breath and memory.

To Truly Understand This Piece, 

You Must Stand Before It.

"Despite having classical training, I enjoy experimenting with nontraditional processes, tools, and mediums because I believe art can be expressed in an infinite number of ways."

This series bridges the organic and the ornate, allowing natural textures and forms to interact with de Francisco’s richly detailed, often historical visual language. Figures seem to emerge from the grain itself, their presence both grounded and ethereal, as if caught between past and present.

There Are Portraits,
