Plated Cake (2026)Oil painting by Katia Ricci

A slice of cake resting on a transparent plate becomes the quiet focal point of the composition. The familiar, intimate subject is rendered with rich, textured brushstrokes that evoke the tactile quality of each layer: the softness of the cream, the density of the chocolate, and the delicate surface of the icing.

The light, airy background creates a sense of stillness and contemplation, while the presence of the fork subtly suggests a human gesture about to happen. Balancing between still life and emotional memory, the painting transforms an everyday moment into a sensory and nostalgic experience.

This work celebrates the beauty of simple pleasures, the fleeting nature of indulgence, and the quiet poetry of daily life.
