The split apple

1. THE WORK
A patinated metal bowl rests on a raw wood table. In its center, a sliced ​​apple, bare, simply placed. The pale, almost luminous flesh contrasts with the deep tones of brown, copper, and turquoise highlights of the background. Nothing here is perfectly smooth: the brush leaves its scratches, its marks, its snags. THE SPLIT APPLE evokes the great Flemish still lifes, but revisited with a contemporary intimacy. A painting of restraint and depth, between matter and light, between beauty and erasure.

2. THE INTENTION
The artist doesn't seek to depict a fruit—he captures a suspended moment. THE SPLIT APPLE is fragility revealed, intimacy quietly exposed. The cut fruit becomes a symbol: of what remains, of what has been shared, of what stands despite the cut. A work that chooses sincerity over the spectacular. A lucid, almost humble painting, which gives sacred space to the simplest everyday life.

3. THE INVITATION
And you... what does this apple, split but dignified, say about what you have been through?
What discreet gestures, what forgotten objects... still contain your truths?

4. YOUR PAINTING AT HOME
Ideal in an elegant kitchen, a warm-toned living room, a cozy library or a collector's office.
THE SPLIT APPLE fits perfectly into interiors sensitive to the beauty of truth, to noble materials, to silent stories. A work of silence and restrained emotion, for those who know how to see beyond appearances.
