Description
Sunny Side is a striking contemporary still life that transforms an everyday subject into a moment of quiet focus and visual clarity. A single fried egg rests against a deep black ground, its glowing golden yolk illuminated like a small sun at the centre of the composition. The simplicity of the image draws attention to texture, light, and form, inviting slow contemplation.

Rendered with delicate layers of acrylic and pastel, the surface reveals subtle tonal shifts and painterly detail that elevate the familiar into something timeless and iconic. The contrast between the luminous warmth of the yolk and the surrounding darkness creates a calm yet powerful presence—minimal, direct, and quietly poetic.

Both playful and refined, the work sits within the tradition of contemporary still life while maintaining Maria Titan’s characteristic intimacy and sensitivity to everyday moments.
