Stillife with 2 oranges

This ink drawing depicts two vibrant oranges with leaves, arranged on a white cloth against a deep black background. The composition emphasizes the full spectrum of light, from the bright highlights on the fruit and cloth to the rich, velvety darkness of the backdrop. This dramatic contrast creates a sense of depth and focus, allowing the vibrant orange tones to stand out boldly.

I enjoy working with compositions that explore the extremes of light and shadow, using the interplay between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks to create a strong visual impact. This approach allows the subject to feel illuminated and alive, while also bringing attention to subtle details, such as the texture of the fruit’s skin and the delicate veins in the leaves.

This small ink piece reflects my interest in simplicity and balance, where light becomes as much a subject as the objects themselves. It’s an exploration of how contrast can transform a humble subject into something visually striking and engaging.
