This small oil painting forms part of The Pantry collection, which explores the quiet poetry of everyday forms. A single onion rests in deep shadow, its papery skin peeling away as green shoots emerge from its crown, an understated gesture of renewal within decline.
Painted in oil at 15 x 15 cm and finished with genuine copper leaf edges, the work draws attention to texture, light, and the subtle passage of time. Soft illumination reveals each fold and crease, transforming the humble onion into a contemplative study of resilience and becoming.
In The Onion's Soliloquy, the ordinary is elevated through stillness and attention. The painting reflects on cycles of growth and surrender, where beauty exists not in perfection, but in the quiet persistence of life continuing to unfold.
Unframed: 15 x 15 cm | 5.90 x 5.90 inches.
Medium: oil on canvas.
Finishing: the artwork comes ready to hang, and is finished with genuine copper leaf around the side edges.
