Grapes, 2020 (reworked 2024), oil on linen, 20×35cm.
“A bunch of grapes sits in front of a grey wall, inviting a study of the subtle and unexpected variations of colour within the fruit. The richest hues emerge in some places, while other grapes contain shades as grey as the wall, almost dissolving into the background. I was particularly drawn to the elusive ‘bloom’—a delicate, ephemeral layer that catches the light—and sought to capture its nuanced tones through careful colour mixing.”
