The dialogue between sun and trees

Van Gogh’s olive trees

Between 1889 and 1890, during his stay in Saint-Rémy, Vincent van Gogh created a series of works dedicated to olive groves. In these twisted and resilient trees, the artist saw the strength of nature and a spiritual dimension that connected earth and sky.

The olive trees became a recurring subject, symbolizing struggle and human resilience, illuminated by intense, sunlit skies.

The interpretation by Paolo May

In Olive Trees, Paolo May reinterprets this theme through a three-dimensional language. Trunks and foliage are shaped in clay and finished with glazes and colors, creating volume and movement.

  • Central sun dominating the composition
  • Sculpted green foliage with textured reliefs
  • Warm tones inspired by Mediterranean earth

A bridge between memory and modernity

May does not replicate Van Gogh’s work, but pays tribute to its spirit, blending inspiration with a personal artistic language. The result is an interpretative homage, where Mediterranean nature is reimagined through forms and colors that unite tradition and contemporary expression.
