About The Artwork
This composition is part of a series on oranges, their bright and deep yellow-orange colour superposed on black and on whites. It is an approach to abstraction through reality. Like many of JuanManuel's works, it is also an opportunity to study and analyse textures, their oppositions and how those contrasts create a lively arrangement. In this case, it is the difference of the metal of the knife with its gleaming and reflection and the orange peel on the dish, that lays on the table cloth covering, what supposedly is a table. The study leads to a painting that has no definite way to be exhibited. The abstraction remains in which way it is hanged and how the figurative work is seen. It is also a study on different contrasts : orange and reds on whites and black, and black on a hues of whites. The work also tries to attain a certain idea of trompe-l'oeil, when the artist experiments with the tablecloth on which the dish rests, setting the elements on a non spacial expanse.

Switzerland
As an artist. I paint and I photograph the world that I see, the world that surrounds me. Most of the time, I use ideas that have been germinating in my mind to fill canvas or paper without the need for a preamble sketch. I seldom make a plan; I work because I need to express myself in a burst of sincerity and passion. There is contradiction though, because my work is very polished and it is difficult to see any marks of hard strokes of brush or color due to the burst. Everything blends to make the visual story flow without interference. Almost all my work is figurative although my most recent work tends toward “abstract reality.” I try to emphasise the need of modern man to transcend the material world and reach out to a more spiritual reality. Hence my belief that a simple artistic expression can transcend cultural and linguistic differences and reach universal truths. My goal as an artist and creator is to make art that, I hope, will make men think and reflect. Art is my passion and gives my life a sense of purpose.
