Original artwork description:

I first came across the word ‘Ovo’ during the Cirque du Soleil production of Ovo where a foreigner enters the world of insects carrying a large egg or ‘ovo’ in Portuguese.

‘Ovo’ was inspired by ovulation - when a follicle has matured and is released from the ovaries. The colors of this painting are warm, like ripe fruit. The background is a subtle gradation of pink in thinking about the tender internal membranes. The matte foreground of curves nestles the egg which in contrast is glossy and bright, taking center stage.
