About this artwork
Arles is an original still life painting inspired by the warmth, colour, and quiet intimacy of southern France. Deep red cherries and dark summer fruit rest on a pale ceramic plate set against a bold harlequin tablecloth, evoking the atmosphere of a sunlit café table and the painterly heritage of Provence. The composition balances richness and restraint, allowing colour, shadow, and stillness to create a sense of gentle presence. Painted in acrylic and pastel on canvas panel, the surface reveals soft tonal layering, delicate texture, and luminous highlights across the fruit and patterned ground. A protective varnish enhances depth and preserves the pigments. This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork, signed on the back. Dimensions: 40 × 40 cm. A warm, contemplative still life for collectors drawn to colour, memory, and the quiet poetry of everyday objects.

About the artist
Mixed-media artist. Color lover. Storyteller. Born and raised in South Africa and now living in Cyprus, I hold a degree in Fine Art from the University of the Witwatersrand. I paint in acrylic, pastel, watercolor, pencil, and ink. Canvas and wood often feature but paper is my first love. Working primarily from photos, I often manipulate images digitally to create a new composition and then paint. I’ve exhibited in Cyprus, London, and Athens and my collectors live in countries around the world.
