The Energy Inside Me – Original Wood Wall Art by Crystal Woods

A Reflection of Spirit, Energy, and Illumination

“The Energy Inside Me” is an original wood wall art creation that explores the essence of human spirituality and the eternal fire that resides within us all. Crafted by hand on a canvas of live-edge Spalted Birch, this piece is both a tactile object of beauty and a meditation on inner strength, energy, and light.

Through the interplay of natural grain, carved linework, and deep-burning techniques, the wood wall art work captures not only the physical form of a male figure but also the unseen radiance that emanates from within. It is a piece that invites viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with their own inner vitality.

The Artwork – A Male Figure Radiating Spirit

At the heart of “The Energy Inside Me” lies the depiction of a powerful male figure, emerging from the birch surface with striking intensity. His form is not static; it seems to pulse with movement, light, and inner force. The bold lines of carving and pyrography suggest strength and presence, while the warmth of the wood itself conveys grounding and authenticity.

The rich tonal variations of Spalted Birch enhance the portrayal, with dark charred areas symbolising intensity and resilience, while lighter grain patterns evoke clarity and illumination. This duality mirrors the human condition and the balance of strength and vulnerability, of fire and stillness.

The result is an artwork that feels alive, timeless, and deeply spiritual.

Techniques – Carving, Burning, and the Natural Birch Canvas

“The Energy Inside Me” was created through a meticulous process of carving and pyrography, with each line etched into the wood’s fibres by hand. The natural spalting of the birch forms part of the composition, its intricate patterns aligning with the wood wall art work’s theme of energy flowing through body and spirit.

The piece has been sanded to a fine finish, inviting both touch and close examination. Its final treatment with Danish oil enhances the tonal richness of the wood while providing long-term protection. The surface gleams with a natural satin sheen, amplifying the contrasts between charred depth and golden highlights.
