Windswept olive tree (H33)

Windswept Olive Tree is a copper and bronze sculpture that captures the olive tree in a moment of tension and movement. Its foliage appears to be swept entirely in one direction by the wind, while the trunk remains firmly rooted to its base.

The work is defined by an expressive contrast between the strength of bronze and the visual lightness of the finely crafted copper leaves. Curved branches, black and green olives, and the richly patinated surface of the trunk create a silhouette that is delicate, dynamic and instantly recognisable.

A universal symbol of peace, longevity and resilience, the olive tree takes on an almost human presence here. Although shaped by an invisible force, it bends without breaking, adapting while maintaining its balance. This tension between apparent fragility and inner strength gives the sculpture a poetic and contemplative quality.

With its slender composition and pronounced lateral movement, Windswept Olive Tree can become a striking focal point in a contemporary, Mediterranean or minimalist interior. It will appeal to collectors drawn to metalwork, nature-inspired forms and sculptures carrying a timeless symbolic meaning.
