Artwork Description

The artist has managed to compose a pictorial display that reflects a powerful realism imbued with the poetic nature of the everyday. Often overlooked as a symbol of heritage, the kitchen is where heirlooms in the form of precious family recipes are passed down from generation to generation. The monochrome artwork is steeped in shadow, alluding to a yearning for the embrace of the matriarch’s familiar gastronomical fare.
