Olive Trees and Myths or Hidden Mythologies explores the ancient olive groves of Mallorca as living sculptural forms containing hidden creatures, archetypes and mythological presences.
The series brings to light, roots and stones into hybrid beings that seem to emerge naturally from the Mediterranean landscape itself. Dragons, sleeping beasts, primitive guardians and animal figures appear concealed within the wood, as if mythology had never truly disappeared and still remained dormant within nature.
The human body is not presented as separate from the landscape, but as part of a continuous metamorphosis: merging with the trees, being protected by them, or slowly absorbed into their organic structures.
The project invites the viewer to discover hidden forms within each image. None of the creatures have been digitally manipulated; they already existed within the trees and have been revealed through careful observation and photographic interpretation.
Ultimately, Hidden Mythologies presents the olive grove as a sacred territory where nature still preserves traces of ancestral memory and invisible narratives.
