Original artwork description:

Zakhar Shevchuk's "Small Breakfast 2" offers a unique glimpse into the beauty of the everyday. This oil on canvas painting, completed in 2022, is part of a series that highlights simple morning scenes. The focus of this piece is a single, ripe banana, set against a contrasting background that accentuates its form and color.

The painting showcases Shevchuk's mastery of light and shadow. The banana, with its speckled yellow peel, sits on a surface divided into light and dark sections. This composition emphasizes the fruit's natural texture and the play of light across its surface. The simplicity of the scene is deceptive; closer inspection reveals the artist's intricate brushwork and thoughtful use of color, which bring the subject to life.

Shevchuk's inspiration for this series came from the ordinary moments that make up daily life. He was particularly fascinated by how sunlight can transform simple objects, imbuing them with a sense of beauty and tranquility. "Small Breakfast 2" is a celebration of these fleeting moments, inviting viewers to see the extraordinary in the mundane.

While "Small Breakfast 2" is no longer available, its existence highlights Shevchuk's exceptional ability to capture the essence of everyday life.
