Description from the seller
- Oil on cardboard. Signed. Stamped.
- In this small oil by Vives Maristany, the lemon ceases to be a fruit and becomes an astral entity, a pale-gold orb suspended in the gravity of an absolute void. The table is no longer wood, but the plane of existence where matter rests against nothingness, transforming the humble still life into a geometry of silence. Like a solitary planet at the edge of an intimate galaxy, the citrus radiates its own light, seemingly devouring the gloom, reminding us that in the smallest things the mystery of the infinite beats, and that a single object, under the artist’s gaze, can contain the entire ontological weight of the universe.
- Image dimensions without frame: 24 x 14 cm / 34 x 25 cm with exclusive custom frame.
