AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Oil on canvas (36 x 24 cm).
Oil on canvas (36 x 24 cm).
Sweet Temptation is an exploration of desire and attraction through the language of color and texture. The cherry, caught between intensely red lips, becomes a symbol of pleasure, provocation, and vulnerability. The close, almost hypnotic composition invites the viewer to a visual play between the sensual and the forbidden.
Oil technique highlights the moisture, shine, and softness of surfaces, creating a tension between the real and the pictorial that emphasizes its emotional charge. A work that captures the moment just before delight, where impulse and restraint coexist in perfect balance.
