Măslinul legendar

The work presents a landscape from Petra, where in those conditions of extreme aridity, in the dry stone a olive tree survives in a way we can say miraculously.

In front of him stands a Bedouin riding a camel, a representative character for that place.

The olive tree is connected to some legends of that place.

The survival of the olive tree in those harsh conditions is a symbol of the struggle for life, of coping with difficult conditions.

Watercolor of larger dimensions than usual (60 x 60 cm).

The painting also renders the exotic beauty of the rocky defile at Petra, the special light of that place.
