Grapes and robin Print

Acrylic paint on paper. A handmade paper, made with cotton cloth, which is very pleasant to paint on, as well as being durable support. However, I like to superimpose other papers and materials that produce suggestive textures. This randomness suggests new ideas to me surprises that arise are stimulating for me to continue. Above all, it distances me from Naturalism which I try to avoid. The versatility of acrylic paint allows me to make transparencies like watercolour or like glazes of oil and varnish, but also thick and opaque impasto. The painting is composed of three horizontal bands formed by three levels of clarity: tablecloth, distant sea mountains, sky. These three bands interact with the fruit bowl, the grapes and the little bird. There is a range going from violet to the lightest blues, ascending and moving away. This upward movement of our gaze is counterpointed by the rhythms that ornament the tablecloth and the fruit bowl horizontally. The whole cool palette of this painting discreetly serves to highlight the curious warm orangey-yellow spot of the little bird. A bird pecking at a bunch of purple grapes can suggest to the poetic imagination many unnoticeable things which could be a mirror of our inner selves expressed by these images, which carry with them a cluster of associated sensations, thoughts or experiences. All this configured brings confidence and appeasement to our daily lives. And with this, we can be content.
