Persimmons in Plastic (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Dmitry Fedorov

Discover the beauty in the everyday with this original acrylic still life. Measuring 40x40cm on stretched canvas, this painting depicts a pack of ripe persimmons in their supermarket packaging, rendered with bold brushwork and a vibrant, warm palette.
Painted from life as part of the Strada Easel Challenge in January 2026, this piece explores the intersection of nature and modern life. I was fascinated by the challenge of capturing the translucent, reflective quality of the plastic wrap against the soft, matte skin of the bright orange fruit. The deep, atmospheric background makes the warm tones of the persimmons glow, creating a contemporary and thought-provoking piece. It’s a perfect addition to a modern kitchen or dining space, bringing a fresh perspective to traditional still-life painting.
