Taking a Closer Look
Still life is a very interesting topic and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent at this piece. Art has always been the means for me to escape hard times especially in lockdown. I loved the simplicity of taking an simple, everyday vegetable and focusing on its array of colours and textures. I chose to display the onions on a wooden table to add an element of simplicity to the piece and it adds a homely atmosphere. Adding the dark tones in the background helped the onions to stand out.
