Two unripened persimmons sit alongside a small porcelain vessel and silver plated sugar server. The vibrant orange and yellows of the fruit complement the deep blue of the floral design sitting beside it. A harmonic design is found in the use of complementary colours, the bright and vivid blues and oranges are soothed by the muted green of the stone top bench. The sharp highlights of the water drops and serving spoon add extra interest to the paintings overall design and also hint at the sweet offerings to be found on display.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
My name is Michael Memete, I am a self taught Melbourne based artist inspired by the old masters, in particular those of the 17th century Dutch Golden Age. Each of my paintings is created using the highest quality materials possible, including paints I grind by hand as well as flax oil (“linseed” oil) that I have cleansed and prepared using time honoured methods. Each piece I create is a one off and though themes and objects may reappear I will never make copies of a previous work. I am my own harshest critic and believe that each piece must be of a certain level of quality before it leaves the studio and I can be comfortable asking somebody to buy it. Vanity, mortality, philosophy and wisdom are all themes I like to explore in my work and I aim to improve my craft with each painting I complete. It is my hope that there are people out there who would like to support me on this journey as I aspire to reach mastery and play a small part in restoring the beauty of traditional art in modern times.
Each piece comes with a hand signed certificate of authenticity upon purchase.
All of my works are signed, varnished, framed and ready to hang unless stated otherwise.
If you have any inquiries or If you would like to see a piece in the studio, please feel free to get in touch, I would be more than happy to hear from you. Thank you.
