A vibrant and sophisticated still life in which the freshness of spring meets the rich symbolism of fruit and light. The flower bouquet in soft, fresh hues (orange, lilac, blue and yellow) stands proudly in a tall, shiny brown vase. On the table around it are carefully placed fruits: an uncut pear, lemon, pomegranates and a fig, which together tell a story of abundance and impermanence. A small burning candle casts soft light over the scene, bringing colours and shapes to life against the dark green background. A harmonious image full of atmosphere, balance and detail.
When creating this work, I was inspired by the still lifes of the old masters. Like them, I work with natural light to capture an intimate and soft atmosphere, with subtle shadows and layering. The composition is carefully constructed, with attention to balance, colour and symbolism, a tribute to tradition in a contemporary translation.
