Artwork description
The Sweet Within offers a tender exploration of vulnerability and quiet revelation, depicting a peeled mandarin gently unfolding to expose its glistening segments. One delicate piece rests just apart, as if recently separated, its luminous flesh catching the light. Rendered in sumptuous oils, the textured surface and warm palette invite the viewer closer, evoking the tactile pleasure of fruit freshly opened. This piece is a meditation on nourishment and inner richness — on the idea that within ordinary forms lies something soft, bright, and unexpectedly generous.
