Painting description

Total size including frame: 30×30 cm. Some colors have flavor. This one has citrus freshness, the sweetness of sunshine, and a touch of mischievous mischief. The girl looks out into the world as if she knows the secret of the fruit, a secret she won't reveal to anyone but those who look into her eyes long enough. The orange in her hand holds the scent of summer—juicy, crisp, shimmering like drops of light on water. Her hairstyle resembles small flames, and her skin carries the warmth of the setting sun. This is a moment when flavor, color, and thought blend into one—into a subtle, fruity reverie. The painting was created using impasto technique, using oil paints applied primarily with a palette knife. The texture is distinct, convex, and rich—especially in the hair and the orange, whose flesh is composed of dense, layered impasto. This makes the fruit look almost like a fresh slice held just before summer's sleep. The hair creates a miniature mosaic of orange, yellow, and rusty pink, applied with short, dynamic strokes. The background, depicting a geometric black and white pattern, is rendered in high contrast, emphasizing the slightly dreamy, almost theatrical expressiveness of the figures. The necklace is composed of raised "pearls" of paint, painted with thick impasto, allowing the natural light to enhance the three-dimensional effect of the jewelry. The bold color composition is based on a juxtaposition of warm oranges and reds with cool turquoises and blues. This contrast creates a feeling of refreshment—like the first cool breeze after a hot day. The intense turquoise frame is not an addition. It is part of the painting—it enhances its freshness, highlights its citrus energy, and encloses the whole as a colorful miniature that savors the color.
