About the artwork

This oil painting is 40cm diameter on a round canvas, featuring a fried egg against a uniformly black background. The egg is rendered with exceptional detail, capturing the rich orange yolk surrounded by whites that range from crispy edges to slightly uncooked areas. This subtle imperfection adds a layer of authenticity and texture, creating a lifelike representation that feels both fresh and dynamic. The dramatic contrast between the egg and the deep black backdrop focuses attention entirely on the subject, amplifying its visual impact. Light and shadow are played to enhance the egg's textures and depth, transforming an everyday object into an extraordinary centerpiece.
