Description

“Olive Tree of Fortune” by Alexandros Georgiou is a striking fusion of symbolism and craftsmanship, marrying ancient Mediterranean tradition with contemporary sculptural elegance. Made of bronze and adorned with radiant gold-plated leaves, the tree cradles a hand-blown glass evil eye—a powerful emblem of protection and good fortune. The deep blue center of the glass contrasts beautifully with the warm shimmer of the leaves, creating a spiritual focal point that draws the eye and energizes the space. Together, the olive tree and the mati (evil eye) form a potent symbol of peace, wisdom, and positive energy.

Georgiou’s signature style shines through in his seamless blending of materials and meaning. Each leaf is meticulously shaped and polished, capturing the fluidity of nature while elevating it into the realm of fine art. The addition of the evil eye—often found in Greek and Middle Eastern cultures—introduces a talismanic quality to the sculpture, making it not only visually captivating but spiritually resonant. The “Olive Tree of Fortune” is a unique work that radiates protection, harmony, and hope—perfect for those seeking a piece with both aesthetic brilliance and deep cultural roots.
