A dark zucchini stretches across the canvas, its deep tones grounding the composition amid abstracted shapes and earthy hues. A pale pattison, soft yet striking, catches the light—its delicate form contrasting with the angular lines and muted browns that frame it. The brushstrokes are bold yet deliberate, capturing the essence of the objects rather than their precise details.
This painting is an exploration of balance—between light and shadow, organic and geometric, the recognizable and the abstract. The zucchini and pattison, though simple subjects, become part of a larger interplay of shapes and textures, evoking a sense of quiet movement and depth.
I hope this piece encourages viewers to look beyond the familiar, to see the poetry in everyday forms. Perhaps it stirs a memory, a fleeting impression of a kitchen scene, a garden harvest, or the way light falls on objects in passing.
As always, I use oil paint for its richness and depth. The layering of colors and the softness of the edges allow for an atmosphere that is both tactile and evocative, transforming the ordinary into something timeless and deeply felt.
