For my portfolio, I have selected three of my best drawings, including a still-life of oranges, lemons, and limes.
Drawing: Still-Life of Oranges, Lemons, and Limes
Statement: I chose this still-life composition because it showcases my ability to capture the vibrant colors and textures of fruit, which adds a dynamic quality to my work. The contrasting colors and shapes of the oranges, lemons, and limes allow me to explore the interplay of light and shadow, highlighting my understanding of form and depth. This piece represents my passion for still-life drawing, as it conveys not only the aesthetic beauty of everyday objects but also the skill I've developed in rendering three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface. Each fruit holds its own unique characteristics, and depicting them together showcases my attention to detail and my ability to harmonize diverse elements within a single composition.
In addition to demonstrating technical proficiency, this drawing reflects my artistic voice and my exploration of themes related to simplicity and abundance in everyday life. It is a celebration of nature's palette and brings a sense of warmth and vibrancy that I aspire to evoke in all my artwork.
