The artist has created a captivating piece by combining expressive ink with charcoal and chalk. This particular artwork focuses on a millennium olive tree, showcasing the artist's fascination with the unique shapes and textures of these ancient trees. The drawing is characterized by dynamic mark-making and a bold utilization of line.
This artwork is part of a series dedicated to studying ancient olive trees, reflecting the artist's admiration for their twisted forms and textured trunks.

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.
