The Artwork

Harvest.

The cycle of nature reveals itself in the beauty of the simplest forms. Ears of corn, a golden symbol of nourishment and ancient earthly traditions, rest upon a rigid concrete surface. The oil paint exalts the encounter between the organic fragility of the dry leaf and the cold, immutable solidity of industrial matter.

Painting transforms a fragment of rural life into a silent and monumental sculpture. Every ripple and every reflection of light on the kernels invites the observer to rediscover the hidden poetry in the everyday, where the memory of the harvest finds peace within the eternity of matter.

The artist's voice

"The gold of the earth requires the cold of matter to reveal its utmost warmth. There exists a perfect silence in the moment when nature pauses to rest."
