Cranberry Twig

This painting grew from my fascination with balance and excess. The berries seem on the verge of collapse, yet they hold—almost defiantly. That fragile equilibrium mirrors the human urge to stay composed in a world ruled by chance. The glossy red against the cool blue background creates tension rather than harmony. It’s not about fruit—it’s about stability, and how little it takes for things to stand, or fall.
For me, it’s a quiet metaphor for calm under pressure, for discipline that hides vulnerability. It may resonate with those who understand that perfection is never secure—and that beauty often lives in that uncertainty.
