Juicy Fruit

Acrylics on canvas 150 x 100cm.

I remember when I was a kid, our mom was always looking for ways to feed us and not brake the already tight family budget. With my das they came up with the idea of buying crates of fruits from farmers on the verge of the roads near the city. Fresh fruits became our sweet treats and our everyday snacks to keep our stomachs full growing up.

A colorfu arrangement of fake fruits full of flavor are depicted inside a tin foil tray. Mangos, pineapples, grapes, limes and strawberries make this composition a striking reminder of our sugar addiction and our disconnection from real food, real fruits.
