DESCRIPTION

This artwork is a symphony of taste, frozen on the black velvet of eternity. This is not just food - this is cultural code written in the language of form, color, and texture.

On the left, a violet ribbon embraces a garland of garlic like it's protecting an ancient treasure. Each bulb is rendered with such devotion to detail that you can almost sense its sharp, earthy presence. This is not merely seasoning - this is protector, healer, symbol of strength. Golden glints on the papery skin, delicate roots - everything speaks of reverence for simple things that sustain life. The violet ribbon adds theatricality, transforming the mundane into the ceremonial.

In the center, a red pepper hangs from a rose-crimson ribbon like an honorary medal. Its lacquered surface reflects light as if it holds its own inner glow. This is not just pepper - this is passion, fire, the energy of life itself. The deep red color, almost purple, pulses with intensity. Every fold, every curve rendered with such precision that you feel its weight, its juiciness, its character.

On the right, an orange-and-green ribbon holds a cascade of hot chili peppers. Red and green pods intertwine like dancers in a fiery hopak. This is the contrast of ripeness and youth, softness and sharpness, patience and impatience. Their glossy surfaces catch every ray of light, creating the sensation of living, breathing matter.

The black background is not emptiness - it's a stage. It doesn't absorb the objects but pushes them forward, makes them heroes of this performance. Against it, every color sounds at full volume: violet becomes deeper, red more intense, orange warmer, green more vibrant.

The satin ribbons are not just a way of hanging. They are symbols of honor, transforming the everyday into the festive, the simple into the precious. They flow downward in soft waves, their glossy surface contrasting with the matte garlic and the gleam of peppers. Each fold is painted with an understanding of how fabric behaves, how it catches light, how it lives in space.

This is a work about the generosity of Ukrainian soil, about flavors that shaped the character of a people. Garlic - wisdom and protection. Sweet pepper - warmth and abundance. Hot pepper - courage and passion. Together they create a portrait of a culture where food is not just nourishment, but a way of loving, caring, celebrating life.

The hyperrealistic technique here serves not to demonstrate skill, but to create presence. You don't just look at these objects - you can almost touch them, feel their texture, breathe their aroma. This is art that appeals to all senses simultaneously

This artwork is for those who understand that beauty lives not only in flowers and sunsets, but in simple things that feed us. For those who value craftsmanship and patience. For those who know that the best gifts are those the earth provides. This is a celebration of life in its simplest and most profound form - through food that connects us to the land, to tradition, to each other.
