Works

Olive trees

These works reveal the trauma of the truncated branches, their capacity for regeneration, as well as their survival through the centuries. The contrast between the olive trees' vitality and suffering - a silent witness of time immemorial - becomes a metaphor for human existence.

The universality of the values depicted in these works is reflected in the search for forms that evoke natural elements: the indomitability of fire, as well as the spiral movement of the galaxies, can be recognised in the foliage of the olive trees.

Alongside spontaneous gestural marks, there are details that have been worked on for long periods. Two time frames coexist in these paintings.
