Orange, Pomegranate, Fig and Garlic, 2025

Orange, Pomegranate, Fig and Garlic is a small still life painted directly from observation, where familiar fruits become studies of color, texture, and quiet abundance. Thick, deliberate brushstrokes emphasize the weight and presence of each form, allowing the oil paint to remain visibly tactile and alive on the surface.

The composition brings together citrus, fruit, and bulb in a compact, intimate arrangement. Warm oranges and deep wine tones are balanced by soft violets and earthy neutrals, creating a subtle tension between sweetness and sharpness, softness and density. The garlic, almost sculptural, anchors the composition and introduces a grounded, domestic note that contrasts with the richness of the fruits.

Painted on a wood panel, the surface enhances the sense of solidity and permanence, giving this small work the feeling of a quiet, enduring object, meant to be lived with closely, rather than observed from afar.
