Figs on Wood

Title: Figs on Wood

oil on panel 8 x 10 inches (unframed)

A contemporary still life study of two figs, confidently painted with thick, directional brushstrokes. A single, focused light source illuminates the figs, creating dramatic highlights and strong cast shadows across the wooden surface. The traditional subject is handled with a modern, painterly sensibility, allowing the texture of the paint and the energy of the mark making to play a central role. The composition is carefully balanced, combining solidity and quiet drama, making it a striking yet timeless piece suited to a wide range of collections.
