Olive tree, the tree of life!

One of the most important symbols of the ancient Greek civilization and the city of Athens.
Symbol of peace, victory, wealth, fertility, happiness, eternity and rebirth.
Perennial sacred tree for the ancient Greeks who used to make wreaths 
with the leaves and honored the winners of the Olympic Games.
In Greece there are many olive trees whoseage exceeds 2500 years and still produce fruit ...

The sculptor Christos Anagnostopoulos was born in 1955 in Athens.
He studied sculpture and specialized in primitive casting techniques
and artistic metal processing.
Τhe last 20 years he lives in the mountains of Arcadia, a mountainous region in the center of Peloponnese with great ancient history and culture.
One of the artist’s favorite subjects is the perennial olive tree with its trunk engraved, chapped, disintegrated, signs of time which are strongly imprinted on the old body of the tree.
Unique artwork crafted with hands and soul.
