Description

Golden Olive Tree with Exposed Roots on Marble by Dimitris Mitroulas is a striking sculpture that embodies the deep connection between strength, balance, and nature. Crafted from bronze and adorned with 24K gold-plated leaves and roots, the piece rests upon a solid marble base, symbolizing both the fragility and endurance of life. The tree’s visible roots emphasize its grounding and resilience—an homage to the ancient olive trees of the Mediterranean that have stood the test of time.

Each piece by Mitroulas is defined by exceptional craftsmanship, blending the art of sculpture with fine jewelry-making precision. Using stone, marble, wood, metals, and precious stones, he creates compositions that exude understated luxury and meticulous attention to detail.

Every sculpture is one of a kind, not only due to its handmade nature but also because of the artist’s commitment to perfect proportion and harmony. The small scale of this piece—16×10×9 cm (6.3×3.9×3.5 in)—enhances its expressive intensity, inviting close observation of every branch, leaf, and textured surface.

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, he creates sculptures, jewelry models, awards, and museum replicas, merging stone, marble, metals, and precious materials into elegant, timeless forms. His works are featured in museums, on Mount Athos, in galleries, and private collections in Greece and abroad.

Entirely handcrafted in Greece, Golden Olive Tree with Exposed Roots on Marble is a testament to the enduring artistry of Dimitris Mitroulas—where the natural world meets human creativity in perfect equilibrium.
