Dinner

Status: in private collection Price: n/a Size: 15 cm x 21 cm Technique: mixed media Description: A minimalist yet evocative still life, "Dinner" captures the essence of simplicity and ritual in dining. The stark contrast of the pale dish against the muted background emphasizes the meticulously arranged fish, their eyes wide, frozen in time. A single cup of red liquid, possibly wine or sake, sits above them, its deep hue standing out as the painting’s focal point. The piece draws inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, with bold yet restrained lines, an earthy color palette, and calligraphic seals that hint at traditional ink painting. The composition feels quiet, almost meditative, inviting the viewer to reflect on the intimacy of a meal, the connection between nature and sustenance, and the beauty found in the everyday.
