Fruit Series

40" x 72"

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.

In this painting, I explore the expressive power of color and rhythm through the familiar form of pumpkins and squash. What begins as a still life transforms into a dance of light, the vegetables appear to float and vibrate within a cascade of blue, violet, and orange tones.

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.

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.

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.

In this painting, I wanted to capture the lush vibrancy and sensual fullness of tropical fruit. The mangos, bathed in warm oranges, reds, and golden tones, rest in quiet harmony within a vessel that grounds their energy while the background dissolves into abstraction — suggesting movement, life, and the passage of time.

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.

In this painting, I explore the quiet intensity of nature through the richness of form and color. The clustered berries emerge from an earthy background that glows with warmth, symbolizing both fertility and resilience. The broad, veined leaves anchor the composition, connecting the viewer to the living pulse of the earth.

The piece reflects my fascination with the hidden poetry of natural cycles. Through the contrast of softness and strength, I sought to reveal not just the appearance of the berries, but their vital energy and quiet dignity, as if each one held the memory of sun and soil.
