About the Item

Contemporary black and white figurative limited edition copperplate print by Polish artist Krzysztof Skorczewski. Print depicts an imaginary architecture. Title of this artwork is 'Olea Europea'. Olea europaea, commonly known as the European olive tree, is an evergreen species native to the Mediterranean basin.​ Symbolizing peace since ancient times, its gnarled trunk and drought tolerance make it a resilient cultural icon, cultivated for millennia across Europe, Asia, and Africa. The etching by Krzysztof Skórczewski presents a meticulous blend of nature and architecture, showcasing a lush tree burgeoning from the confines of a sophisticated, ornate planter. The planter, resembling an ancient, architectural relic, features intricate carvings and sits atop a structured platform. Surrounding the base, a network of scaffolding and mechanical elements suggests a fusion of organic growth and human ingenuity. The detailed rendering of leaves captures the natural elegance of the tree, contrasting sharply with the rigid, geometric form of the supporting structures. This juxtaposition creates a striking visual narrative, emphasizing the harmonious yet complex relationship between man-made and natural worlds. Overall, this piece seamlessly marries the organic with the engineered, inviting contemplation on nature's resilience and symbolical meaning. KRZYSZTOF SKORCZEWSKI (born in 1947) He studied Graphic Design at the Academy of Fine Arts and in the Royal College of Art in Stockholm. He graduated in 1971. His works may be found in museum collections of the National Museum in Warsaw, Krakow, Szczecin, Gdansk, Poznan, in the collection of the Society of the Albertina in Vienna, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in the collection of the Pontifical Council for Culture at the Vatican and in the Museum of Arts and Culture in Freiburg.
