The lectures represent a research endeavour on the tree’s role in visual arts and architecture. It is considered both structure and vision through the eyes of a professional sculptor.

The lectures show the Tree as a root of inspiration and reason for development in the works of such well-known sculptors as:
Leonardo da Vinci, Kenneth Snelson, Susumu Shingu, Eduardo Chillida, Alexander Calder, Paul Klee, Piet Mondrian, Gustav Klimt, and among others.

The spectator can see sculptures created by the author inspired by the Tree in the area of Elemental Sculpture during 45 years of his professional career are included and described from theoretical and practical points of view.
