The olive tree is strong, it can survive heat, drought, disease, and floods. It is long-lived and evergreen. The oldest olive tree known to man is 3000 years old in Crete and still produces olives! The olive tree symbolizes immortality, life forces, peace, fertility, and purity. Greek myths maintain that it was created by the goddess Athena as a gift to the city that bears her name. The olive tree is a symbol of fertility and peace simultaneously. The unique symbolism of this tree is to bring the brides together in peace and prosperity. A life resistant to hardships as the olive tree is resistant but at the same time a life full of finesse and taste, like the benefits of precious olive oil. To paint this picture I use real dried olive leaves as a collage. Then they were gilded, iconography gold. It is surrounded by a natural dark wood frame
