About this artwork
The beauty of this object is given by the vivacity of its colors and by the elegant arrangement of the leaves, says artist Simone Giaiacopi. A single orange still attached to its stem with leaves spread out, on a dark background providing a stark and striking contrast. The painting belongs to a series of fruits and vegetable still lifes showing my interest in this traditional genre. While the work looks photographic at first, a myriad of brushstrokes covers its surface.
