“Mandarins” is a luminous still life celebrating the vibrant glow of citrus against a dramatic dark backdrop. The rich, saturated orange tones of the fruit are offset by deep shadows and subtle reflections, creating a striking sense of warmth and immediacy.
 
Painted in a classical realist style, and embodies the contrast of fragility and freshness — a moment of stillness captured in bold, expressive light.
 
This oil painting on Italian linen has been professionally framed in a finish that is in keeping with this paintings old world charm.
