Description

“Bronze Olive Tree” by Alexandros Georgiou is a masterful representation of one of the most enduring symbols of peace, wisdom, and prosperity. Crafted entirely from bronze, the sculpture captures the essence of the ancient olive tree, with its intricately detailed trunk and branches, exuding strength and resilience. The leaves, treated with a verdigris patina, evoke the natural aging of metal, lending the piece an organic authenticity that mirrors the real-life transformation of olive trees through time. The addition of polished black olives adds a striking contrast, emphasizing the lifelike precision in Georgiou’s craftsmanship.

Alexandros Georgiou’s artistic style is deeply rooted in classical sculpture traditions, yet he brings a contemporary sensitivity to his work. His attention to textural depth and dynamic form reflects a profound respect for nature and history. The undulating, almost fluid quality of the trunk gives the piece an organic movement, as if the tree is shaped by the passing winds of time. Through his sculptural practice, Georgiou bridges the past and present, celebrating the olive tree not only as a botanical wonder but also as a cultural emblem of endurance and enlightenment.
