In ancient Greek mythology, forest nymphs, the patroness of trees. A very numerous category of nymphs.
Dryads are a few of the nymphs that are deadly. Dryads will not allow a person who loves and cares about nature to disappear into the forest if he suddenly gets lost or something happens to him. And for groundless damage or destruction of trees, dryads could severely punish a person, for example, deprive him of his mind.

Elena Kraft is a contemporary German painter and sculptor whose artistic journey was shaped by her lifelong passion for dance. From a young age, she immersed herself in the world of dance, progressing from a passionate dancer to a dance teacher, choreographer, and ultimately the proud director of the K-System dance school. Her extensive experience in dance has deeply influenced her artistic expression, inspiring her work with movements, body language, and body control.
At the age of 45, Kraft discovered a new passion for art, which she pursued alongside her dance career. Drawing from her background in dance, she naturally gravitated towards figurative art, with a focus on depicting the complexities and delicacies of the human body. Initially working with charcoal and pastel, Kraft now primarily uses acrylic, oil, resin, and clay in her paintings and sculptures. She enjoys experimenting with texture and various techniques, striving to imbue her works with a sense of liveliness and expression.
In her later works, Kraft explores the expression of her emotions through a spray technique, adding an expressionistic nuance to the backgrounds of her figurative paintings and sculptures. Through her art, Kraft seeks to capture the dynamic energy and emotional depth of the human form, creating works that resonate with vitality and emotion.
