Don’t Call Me ‘Fruit’ original painting

‘Don’t Call Me Fruit!’ is a stunning display of intensity and textural beauty. This miniature study focuses on a halved pomegranate, its glistening arils, like countless tiny rubies, spilling out onto a clean, white china plate. The deep, rich tones of the fruit and the surrounding white space are dramatically offset by the cool, calming aqua blue background. Using a classical eye for detail, the painting emphasizes the complex, organic geometry of the pomegranate, transforming the ingredient into a powerful object of luxury and contemplation.

This work serves as a jewel-toned anchor for the 'Food Bites' collection, proving that as an artist l can find profound richness even in the smallest subject. This painting speaks to the idea of uncovering hidden beauty, celebrating the powerful micronutrients packed within. As framed original art, its sophisticated colour palette, the rich reds against the cool blues, makes it an ideal piece for pairing. Consider combining it with the fiery ‘Red Hot Chili Peppers’ for a spectrum of reds, or the bright yellow of ‘How Do You Like Your Eggs in the Morning?’ to create a stunning, high-contrast wall arrangement of truly affordable art.
