Original artwork description:

The oil painting features a vibrant, crumpled packet of Fruit Skittles set against a deep, black background. The darkness surrounding the subject creates a striking contrast, making the bright reds, purples, and greens of the packaging almost glow. The glossy surface of the wrapper catches the light, with carefully placed highlights emphasizing its texture and folds.

A few Skittles have spilled from the open pack, their smooth, candy-coated surfaces reflecting subtle glimmers of light. The bold, saturated colors of the sweets—red, orange, yellow, green, and purple—stand out dramatically against the void-like background, giving them an almost luminous quality.

The black backdrop enhances the realism of the painting, making the viewer focus entirely on the details of the Skittles and their packaging. The brushstrokes are precise in the rendering of the wrapper, yet expressive in how the background absorbs light, creating a sense of depth. The result is a modern, almost pop-art-inspired still life that transforms an everyday object into a captivating visual statement.
