Ten years separate the drawings in this volume from those in volume II. If in that volume the aim of the original drawings was to explore line and color through the classic Rotring pens of the 1990s, in this volume all the original drawings were made in Chinese ink with a more recent generation of markers, with a brush tip.
Drawing palm trees came first and the island setting was just a consequence with more dreamlike than epistemological origins.
All the drawings reproduced here were made over a period of fifteen days during the summer holidays in the Algarve. The cover reproduces on a smaller scale the palm trees I drew for the Jardim Botânico series produced by Oficina Lavandaria (Jardim Botânico VI, Lisbon, 2018).
