Chiaroscuro.

Light sculpts volumes as it emerges from the deepest obscurity. Vegetables and fruit, held within the transparency of a plastic bag, rest upon a white cloth draped over bare stone. The oil color models the perfect encounter between the enveloping shadow of the background and the crystalline reflections of modern matter.

The strong Caravaggesque contrast instills an aura of mystery and sacredness into elements of pure everyday use. The rigidity of the support vanishes beneath the softness of the fabric, while the captured nature unveils a silent and theatrical beauty that captivates the gaze.
