Artwork location: France

This striking work juxtaposes textures and colours that immediately catch the eye.

This captivating work of art illustrates a majestic olive tree with an imposing and sinuous trunk, testifying to centuries past. Each contour of the wood tells a story, with the cracks and knots adding remarkable textural depth. Illuminated by golden light, the tree seems alive, vibrant under the blue sky. 

Finely detailed silver leaves capture the breeze, adding subtle dynamics to the composition.`

Background of slightly blurred trees highlights the centrality of this olive tree, a symbol of resilience and peace. 

The artist was able to capture the essence of Mediterranean nature, combining vigor and serenity. This painting transports the viewer into a landscape where the past and the present converge harmoniously, inviting contemplation and reflection.

« Spending hours immersed in his universe, where Carles encounters the subjects of his compositions. In many of his oeuvres, Carles portrays images that are also found in the Japanese aesthetic of Wabisabi in the way that his photographs capture the largely unnoticed beauty of the simple, modest and humble that is all around us. They show us the impermanence of things and the beauty of the old, worn and decomposing. Many images are captured from an unusual angle forcing the viewer to look at things from a new perspective. He invites the viewer to see with different eyes…, he shows us images that highlight graphic shapes using light, shadow and simple lines. »
