Mediterranean Caldero Still Life

Realistic large-scale still life created entirely in graphite on fine art paper.

The artwork pays tribute to traditional Mediterranean gastronomy, depicting the fresh ingredients and cookware gathered for preparing a classic fish rice (caldero). It features an intricate study of light, glass transparency, and distorted reflections on the polished metal surface, balanced by detailed texturing on the fresh fish, dried peppers, garlic, and draped tablecloth.
