The landscape is drenched in shades of green and blue, interspersed with hints of yellow, orange, and white, reflecting the diversity and intensity of colors in the natural setting.The foreground features a patchwork of colorful strokes representing the sun-drenched earth, which contrasts with the darker hues of the olive trees. The sky above swirls in turmoil, akin to the artist’s famous "Starry Night," suggesting a merging of air and foliage. This technique adds a depth and texture to the scene, enabling the viewer to almost feel the breeze that stirs the branches.Van Gogh’s "Olive Trees" is more than a simple depiction of a landscape; it's an emotional rendering that seems to reflect the artist's turbulent inner world and his intense connection to nature.
