A bunch of grapes

The wonders of nature have always held me spellbound. I firmly believe that beauty lies within everything we observe, even within a seemingly ordinary cluster of grapes, if only we take the time to delve deeper. Nature has served as a constant source of inspiration for me, as I am fascinated by the way each element is intricately arranged in its own unique composition. The bunch of grapes that I painted originated from a vineyard I had the opportunity to visit in Thailand last year. What truly struck me about this particular cluster of grapes was the protective embrace of the leaves surrounding it, reminding me of a mother shielding her child. As a mother myself, this observation evoked profound emotions within me, igniting a deep wellspring of inspiration that inspired me to capture it on canvas.

The painting is done in oil on linen canvas. I've built the painting in over 2 layers and also added some palette knife textures.
