Year: 2022

The Eternal Olive Tree is a painting depicting an olive tree in the foreground, executed with the technique of spatula on canvas. The artist has skillfully used textural colors, creating a rich, three-dimensional texture that conveys the tactile sensation of the tree's bark and leaves. Intense, vibrant tones of emerald green and golden ochre are balanced by shades of gray and brown, evoking the olive tree's life force and its connection to the earth.

The painting conveys a sense of peace and serenity, typical of Mediterranean landscapes in which the olive tree is an iconic element. The artist chose to depict the tree at a time of full bloom, symbolizing the fertility and abundance that this tree brings. The grazing light of the sunset creates a play of shadows and light that adds depth and contrast to the work, while the sky in the background, in delicate shades of blue and pink, frames the olive tree and accentuates its majesty.
