Pear, Mustard, Shadow

Acrylic on Canvas

2025

25.3 × 25.3 cm

This piece explores the simplicity of a single pear set against a rich mustard wall, using colour, shadow, and surface to elevate an everyday subject.

Working in acrylic, I experimented with thickening mediums to build texture, giving the paint a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The shadows play an important role, grounding the pear while adding depth and contrast against the warm, flat backdrop.
