By skillfully merging expressive ink with charcoal and chalk, the artist has produced a captivating artwork showcasing a field of olive trees. This piece highlights the artist's fascination with the distinct shapes and textures of these ancient trees, characterized by dynamic mark-making and a bold use of line.
It is believed that the Phoenicians first introduced the olive tree to Iberia (in the region of what is now Spain) in 1050 BC. The intrinsic characteristics of the FARGA variety, the climate and the terrain are conducive to the long life of these olive trees, which have been able to adapt perfectly to the environment.
