This uplifting oil aquatint on a wooden panel depicting an olive tree delivers a sense of still serenity. The warm, majestic gold leaf is applied to the moon/sun, olives on the tree, and to the borders, hinting at the wonder of existence, since the glare they emit changes accordingly to the amount of light that hits them in the first place. Untarnished and eye-catching, gold seemingly crosses the bridge between the secular and the spiritual offering a concrete example of eternity.
