Stillife with lemon (SOLD)

As an artist, I often find inspiration in the simplicity and elegance of everyday objects, and this still life painting of a lemon was no exception. With this piece, I wanted to capture the vividness and unique character of the lemon, highlighting its vibrant color and texture. The composition plays with light and shadow to emphasize the form and the subtle imperfections that make the subject feel alive.

The interplay between the bright yellow of the lemon and the rich, deep shadows creates a striking contrast that draws the viewer’s eye. I paid careful attention to the reflective quality of the fruit’s surface and the delicate details of the leaf, ensuring they felt authentic and tangible. The crisp folds of the draped fabric beneath add depth and movement, creating a dynamic foundation that grounds the composition.

For me, this painting embodies the beauty found in the ordinary – a reminder that even the simplest elements can evoke a sense of wonder when observed closely. It’s an invitation to appreciate the small moments of light, texture, and color that surround us every day. Tellus Vituz
