Artist bio

My name is Michelle Nieves and I love photographing trees. It has become one of my passions. I have created a unique photographic technique that seems to capture what I believe to be the “spirit” of trees. There are no artificial images in my photographs. Every image you see has been created by nature itself. I have only altered the colors and provided a multidimensional image to reveal it’s spirit. It has been an amazing experience capturing the essence and mystical beauty of trees. Through this technique, I have found a secret universe where every tree and every living thing has a visible spirit and they are clearly speaking to us, we just need to open our hearts and our eyes will open.

How it fits into contest

This photograph captures an image of what I like to call the “tree spirit”. Ephesians 6:10-20 speaks of a Spiritual Battle. It advises to “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” This “tree spirit” visually demonstrates that we are not alone in this spiritual battle. It illustrates what looks like a shield protecting it from evil forces. God expresses itself to us through nature. He is telling us that we are not alone. We must only open our hearts to see the truth. The truth that is written in all of nature. The art of God.
