Colorful still life painting of tropical fruits and vegetables on a blue background
FRUIT SERIES

In my Fruit Series, I celebrate nature’s generosity through vibrant color, texture, and form. Each painting transforms the familiar into visual poetry, inviting viewers to experience the vitality and sensual beauty of the natural world.

Beyond representation, these works explore the rhythms of life and renewal. Layers of luminous paint echo the fullness of harvest, the interplay between light and shadow, and the fleeting perfection of ripeness. Whether viewed as still life or abstract expression, each piece reflects my fascination with color as emotion.

Through the Fruit Series, I merge my architectural precision with painterly spontaneity, balancing structure and freedom.

Tropical Abundance

40" x 72"

Oil on Canvas

This painting celebrates the exuberant beauty of tropical fruits. From the luminous greens of guava and cherimoya to the fiery pinks of dragon fruit and the deep oranges of papaya and loquat, each element embodies the vitality and sensuality of tropical life.

I wanted to transform the familiar into something transcendent. The luminous blue and violet background contrasts with the warm hues of the fruits, suggesting both earth and sky, matter and spirit.

Through layers of pigment and light, I explore how how a fruit’s surface, touched by light, can evoke warmth, nostalgia, and the eternal rhythm of renewal. The result is a composition that honors both nature’s generosity and the joy of artistic creation.

The composition blurs the line between realism and abstraction, where each brushstroke becomes a note in a visual symphony. The vibrant hues evoke warmth and sensuality, while the fluid background suggests movement and energy.

This work reflects my fascination with the emotional resonance of natural forms and the way color can transcend physical boundaries, inviting the viewer to experience stillness and vitality at once.

Mangosteens

Mangostinos

30" x 40"

Oil on Canvas

In this composition, I explore the quiet elegance and sculptural beauty of the mangosteen, often called the “queen of fruits.” Their rich, velvety tones contrast against a background of bold abstraction, where vertical streams of red, gold, and blue suggest both rhythm and reflection.

The stillness of the fruit balances the energy of the background, creating a dialogue between order and spontaneity, form and emotion. Through light and texture, I seek to capture not only the physical presence of the mangosteen but also its symbolic richness.

This painting belongs to my Fruit Series, where realism blends with abstraction to evoke the sensual harmony and timeless vitality of the natural world.

Harvest of Color

30" x 40"

In this painting, I celebrate the beauty of everyday abundance. The contrast between the cool blues of the ceramic bowl and the warm reds, yellows, and ochres evokes the duality of life itself: earth and sun, simplicity and richness, past and present.

This composition reflects my fascination with cultural memory and natural harmony. The corn, ancient and sacred, represents sustenance and tradition, while the limes add a touch of freshness and vitality.

Through the blending of realism and abstraction, I invite the viewer to see beyond the objects themselves.

This work reflects my fascination with the intersection between realism and abstraction. The fruit emerges with tangible presence, yet the surrounding forms pulse with emotion, evoking not just what is seen but what is felt.

Through this composition, I explore how simple organic forms can become symbols of vitality and sensual delight, transforming everyday beauty into timeless expression.

The broad, veined leaves anchor the composition, connecting the viewer to the living pulse of the earth.
