A beautiful natural marble has captured some olive leaves in its inexorable crystallization, and as if they were ammonites, they will remain forever trapped in the rock along with other small fragments of emeralds and precious stones. Their small fruits, still unripe, will never germinate, but one wonders, have they not already fulfilled their purpose of enduring through time.
Olive Tree
Olive tree (Olea europaea), native to the Mediterranean, is an ancient emblem of peace, wisdom, and victory; revered for its longevity and for fruit and oil central to cuisine and health.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
The artists play with the viewer's limit to recognize the photographed nature, they seek to suggest, to attract towards a bridge between the dreamlike and the real.
They make a study on sacrifice as a means of creation. The painful suppression of a part generates a new whole, a reality with unsuspected edges where subtracting gives us an unexpected abundance of beauty and visual interest. In a parallelism with time spilled in grey, boring or distressing moments that, in some way, give us a broader perspective of what it means to live and allows us to distinguish and covet the sweet stages.
Thus, in their photographs, the form faces a process of transformation, subjected to the dominion of light to be reborn in an unknown version. The volume is sectioned revealing silhouettes previously unnoticed. Different planes, different moments captured in the same vision.
At this point, the material aspect of the work plays a major role. There is a primitive emotional connection that artists ascribe to natural, earth-related, irregular and ancestral materials such as clay or plaster. This made it inevitable to embark on an arduous process of self-taught research, with countless trial and error until they were able to transfer all the power of their images from the screen to the plaster. Now, photography and volume merge into a single entity, in an unexplored materiality far from traditional supports.
