Description

Golden Olive Tree on Black Marble by Dimitris Mitroulas is an exquisite small-scale sculpture celebrating the sacred emblem of peace, wisdom, and longevity—the olive tree. Crafted from bronze and adorned with 24K gold-plated leaves, the sculpture rests upon a black marble base whose natural veins beautifully contrast with the golden tones of the branches.

Each piece is defined by meticulous attention to detail, merging the art of sculpture with fine jewelry-making techniques. Mitroulas combines stone, marble, wood, metals, and precious stones into compositions that radiate understated luxury. Every sculpture is entirely handmade, ensuring that no two are ever identical.

The inspiration behind his work is drawn from nature and history, and the small scale of each creation only enhances its expressive depth—inviting the viewer into a world of texture, symbolism, and refined craftsmanship. With dimensions of 15×8×7 cm (5.9×3.1×2.8 in), this piece is a timeless expression of Greek artistry and heritage.

Born in Athens in 1973, Dimitris Mitroulas studied Interior Architecture and Object Design at the School of Applied Arts of the University of West Attica, later specializing in Handmade Jewellery Making and Diamond Setting. With decades of experience in the visual arts, he creates small-scale sculptures, jewelry models, awards, and museum replicas, uniting stone, marble, metals, and precious materials in perfect harmony. His creations are housed in museums, on Mount Athos, in galleries, and private collections across Greece and abroad.

Entirely handcrafted in Greece, Golden Olive Tree on Black Marble captures the eternal spirit of the Mediterranean—where craftsmanship, symbolism, and nature converge in a single elegant form.
