Figs and Violet
In this still-life composition, three ripe figs fuse with a dainty violet in a harmonious play of colours of deep purple. The smooth, glossy skin of the figs subtly reflects the available light, while their dark silhouettes stand out against the black background. The delicate violet, with its vibrant purple hues and yellow heart, is a perfect complementary element.
The technical execution features sophisticated low-key lighting that accentuates the natural shine and texture of the figs. The careful positioning of the violet creates a sophisticated field of tension between the robust fruit and the delicate flower.
This photograph arose from my fascination with the beauty of simple natural elements. The combination of fig and violet, both in different shades of purple, tells a story of natural harmony and elegance. The dark, intimate atmosphere of the image invites the viewer to discover the subtle details and colour nuances.
