Cavolfiore
About this artwork
In this realist painting, artist Simone Giaiacopi depicts a cauliflower and all its off-white subtle hues. The subject is painted with precision and lightness to make it look like a cloud, states Simone. The uniform dark background makes the image stand out almost as an abstract shape forming before our eyes. The painting belongs to a series of fruit and vegetable still lifes, showing SimoneÕs interest in this traditional genre. While the work looks photographic at first, a myriad of brushstrokes covers the surface.
