Ten Minutes Apple Study

“Ten Minutes Apple Study” captures a fleeting moment of observation, rendered with a directness that belies its quiet intensity. Three iterations of the same subject—a single apple—are presented as studies in shifting light and evolving form. The artist’s handling of paint is immediate, a vigorous layering of color that builds volume and suggests texture without precise detail. Cool, atmospheric washes of blue and green surround each apple, creating a sense of depth and anchoring the rich, crimson tones. The final study, depicting a partially eaten fruit, introduces a subtle narrative of passing time and delicate vulnerability. These are not portraits of an object, but explorations of perception—a momentary encounter with color, shape, and the simple beauty of the everyday.
