Mars and Venus

50cm x 50cm, oil on canvas

Mars and Venus brings intimacy and contrast into quiet dialogue. A silver jug, cool and reflective, leans into the delicate pink porcelain cup beside it — two opposing forms caught in a moment of contact. Four ripe cherries, symbols of sensuality and fleeting pleasure, complete the scene. At once playful and symbolic, the work evokes harmony and tension between the masculine and feminine, the reflective and the tender, the enduring and the ephemeral.
