In Book Mouse, Carla Jasper combines charm and detail to create a scene straight out of a storybook. A tiny mouse has made its home inside a ripe pear, nestled between well-loved books, as if pausing to listen to the stories that surround it. The warm tones of fruit and fur contrast with the solid presence of the books, capturing both whimsy and quiet intimacy. This painting speaks of curiosity, shelter, and the little surprises that life offers when we look closely. Playful yet refined, it highlights the artist’s ability to bring imagination into realism. Part of the TAM Master Students collection, this work invites us to see the extraordinary in the everyday.
