A delicate arrangement of objects emerges from the darkness—a white ceramic bowl cradling three quail eggs, a fig resting nearby, a golden pear, and a scattering of vine leaves and grapes. The contrast between light and shadow gives the scene a quiet intimacy, inviting contemplation.
This painting captures a moment of stillness, where simple forms take on a sense of quiet significance. The eggs, fragile yet enduring, the soft glow of the bowl against the deep background, the organic imperfections of fruit and leaves—all contribute to a feeling of harmony and balance.
I hope this piece encourages the viewer to pause, to notice the subtle play of textures and tones, to find beauty in the ordinary. There’s a quiet story here, a moment of fleeting arrangement that speaks to both time’s passage and the stillness within it.
As always, I work with oil paint for its richness and depth. The soft transitions of light and the deep, velvety shadows allow the subjects to take on a luminous quality, transforming everyday objects into something timeless and evocative.
