Circle and artistic influence:

Work linked to the European hyperrealist tradition of the second half of the 20th century, with an evident revival of trompe-l'œil or trompe-l'œil. The precision in the representation of fruits, flowers and surfaces, as well as the play between different pictorial planes, refer both to the historical tradition of the European still life and to contemporary currents interested in questioning perception between image, object and reality.

A singular hyperrealist composition that combines the traditional genre of the still life with an elaborate visual game of trompe-l'œil. In the lower area there is a set of white flowers, fruits and small berries, among which a yellow pear and an apple stand out, accompanied by dark spherical elements that introduce chromatic and volumetric contrast.

The composition stands out for the meticulous technical rendering of the different textures, especially the delicate white petals, the shiny surfaces of the fruits and the gray and earthy backgrounds.

In the upper right corner there is represented a second image within the painting itself: a minimalist winter landscape dominated by a bare tree. This resource generates a deliberate superposition of planes and constitutes the main trompe-l'œil element of the work, creating the impression of an independent image placed on the surface of the painting.

The geometric treatment of the background, the chromatic sobriety and the precise lighting contrast with the organic elements of the still life, giving the composition a contemporary, quiet, and strongly conceptual aesthetic.

The work is presented framed with a frame of notable presence, composed of black moldings combined with gold profiles. Its stepped and classical design creates depth around the painting and establishes an elegant contrast with the contemporary aesthetic of the composition.

Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by a surcharge due to causes such as being outside a continental territory, excess dimensions or weight of the item. PremiArt in no case will cover this surcharge.

The courier that must cross the Swiss border may be much slower than usual, so, if possible, to speed up processing, we will provide the customs number that is holding the shipment so that the customer can unlock it and thus reach its destination. Experience has taught us that this is the most effective solution for both parties.

Due to the high volume of shipments, orders may be delayed more than three days, for which we apologize and thank you for your patience. Any questions about your order please contact us via internal messaging.
