About this work

This painting shows a dark table with a few simple things on it. There’s a round basket with some fish inside, a peeled orange, and a pair of tongs leaning against a pot. The colors are mostly dark browns and blacks, but the orange and fish add bright spots of red and white. The brushstrokes look thick and textured, almost like the paint was slapped on. This style makes the objects feel real and rough at the same time. If you like this kind of painting, look up impasto.
