“The Sprouter” is a moving tribute to the artist's father, capturing the essence of the farmer's trade. At the heart of the composition, the sprog shears are planted as a testament to the meticulous attention that leads to the flourishing of unique fruits.

The stark silhouette of a tree at rest sets the stage for the masterful art of the esporgador, while the word “Esporgador” pays homage to the wise hands that shape the branches to bear generous fruit.

This work intertwines text and visual metaphor, celebrating the intimate dialogue of the fruit grower with nature — a symbiotic dance that enhances the inherent virtue of the fruit.
