Niki de Saint Phalle

L'arbre de vie (The Tree of Life), from Mémorie de la Liberté suite

A radiant and exuberant work by Niki de Saint Phalle, *L'arbre de vie* bursts with her signature bold colors and joyful imagery, combining screenprinted forms with tactile three-dimensional elements of painted resin and shimmering gold leaf. The tree serves as a symbolic life force, its branches teeming with vibrant figures and organic shapes that reflect de Saint Phalle's deeply personal mythology and her celebration of feminine power and freedom. Grounded on an oxidized steel base, the work bridges painting and sculpture, embodying the artist's lifelong commitment to art that transcends traditional boundaries.
