About this artwork
Artist Simone Giaiacopi paints a vibrant persimmon fruit still attached to its crooked branch. The leaf rich in veins and reflections and the shades of orange of the fruit are what caught my attention and awakened my love for detail, shares Simone. This painting belongs to a still life series of fruits and vegetables showing the artist's interest in the traditional genre. While the work looks photographic at first, a myriad of brushstrokes covers its surface, Simone explains, while the steady shaded background highlights the focal point of the piece.
