Original artwork description:

My pastel painting "Pearamid" presents a carefully arranged composition where simplicity meets quiet opulence. At the center, the grey earthen bowl holds a structured pile of yellow-reddish pears, forming a pyramid-like shape. The warm hues of the fruit contrast subtly with the cool grey-blue background and the muted, weathered tones of the sideboard beneath them. This interplay of colors and textures enhances the sense of scarcity and value—here, the pears become more than just fruit; they symbolize abundance carefully preserved.

The worn-out surface of the sideboard suggests history and use, adding depth to the painting. It evokes a sense of past wealth, where luxury is no longer in excess but in the appreciation of what remains. The carefully arranged pears stand as a testament to the idea that true value lies not in abundance alone but in the thoughtful presentation and care given to even the simplest things.

The title, "Pearamid", adds a playful yet sophisticated layer of meaning, reinforcing the sense of structure and intentionality. The composition recalls the grandeur of ancient pyramids—monuments to permanence, hierarchy, and value. In this way, my painting elevates something as humble as pears into a symbol of lasting worth and refined luxury.
