Handmade Bronze Frame “O Liokambos & O Gaidaros”
Discover the traditional beauty of the Greek countryside with “The Olive Tree & The Donkey”, a unique, handmade sculpture-frame that combines the symbolic power of the olive tree with the simplicity of rural life. In a simple black wooden shadow box frame stands an elegant bronze olive tree, flanked by a farmer wearing a characteristic hat and his faithful donkey, tied with a thin wire that hangs discreetly.
Materials & Construction
- High-purity bronze: All elements—the trunk and branches of the olive tree, the leaves, the fruit, the farmer, and the donkey—have been cast using the lost wax technique, ensuring precision in the organic curves and details.
- Hand-gilded: Each piece is covered with a thin sheet of 24-karat gold, giving it warm tones, a luminous play of light and shadow, and a rich sense of depth.
- Frame–stage: MDF painted in matte black, creating a clear “sky” of white canvas, where the elements seem to float without visible supports.
Inspiration & Symbols
- Olive tree: A symbol of peace, endurance, and Greek tradition, with branches spreading out in a dynamic, organic composition.
- Farmer: Represents the people of the land, care, and respect for the natural environment.

- Connecting Wire: The thin gold wire connecting the farmer and the donkey expresses the cooperation and coexistence of man and animal.
