Apples of Russia

Open your mind series

France

2023

Oil on canvas

70x50 cm

Artist about this artwork I don't know if Russia is a major apple producer. Cezanne, having painted those from Provence with warm colors, I could use the same subject for Russia with cool pastel colors, typical of the country's climate. These apples, grouped in the center of the canvas, unwittingly evoke Russia's isolation since 1917.
