Apples

Mere

2014 · watercolour · 42 × 30 cm

A watercolour of eight apples grouped on a table: the fruits — carmine red, raw green and yellow ochre — are modelled through overlaid washes, the white of the paper reserved for the highlights on their skins and bluish shadows at their bases. Behind them falls a grey and violet drape rendered in broad vertical bands allowed to run; at the left a lighter cloth closes the composition. The shadow beneath the fruit is drawn in a single movement, in blue-grey. The signature and year are written at the lower left. The simplicity is deliberate: only fruit, cloth and shadow.

Painted in the studio on Ion Creangă Street 15, Ploiești — the still lifes and flower pieces from 1984 onwards were made there. Established by the family, August 2026.
