Original artwork description:

The artist skillfully combined expressive ink, charcoal, and chalk to create a mesmerizing artwork featuring a landscape with ancient olive trees in Andalucia. This piece emphasizes the artist's interest in the unique shapes and textures of these historic trees, which are brought to life through dynamic mark-making and a confident 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.
