Berries on Gold - Original Oil Painting - Fruit Still Life - 6 inches

A jewel-toned celebration of summer’s sweetest harvest.

"Berries on gold" is a radiant original oil painting that captures the simple, succulent beauty of fresh fruit. The composition features six plump, bright red raspberries scattered across a cool, light blue plate. Alai masterfully renders the individual drupelets of each berry with vibrant crimsons and soft pinks, while deep, saturated purple shadows ground the fruit against the textured ceramic surface.

Painted on a 15x15 cm (6x6 inch) handmade primed wood panel, this artwork hides a luxurious secret: a gold underpainting. If you look closely at the edges of the berries and within the textured strokes of the background, you will see shimmering flecks of this golden base layer peeking through, giving the entire piece a luminous, vibrating depth. Alai’s signature thick impasto technique gives the berries a wonderfully tactile, dimensional quality that makes them look almost ready to be picked off the panel.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Radiant Underpainting: The gold base layer adds a unique, hidden warmth that catches the light and makes the reds and blues pop with incredible intensity.
• Vibrant Contrast: The striking pairing of warm, ruby-red berries against the cool, sky-blue plate creates a visually electric and modern still life.
• Textural Charm: Thick, confident oil strokes masterfully capture the bumpy, intricate texture of the raspberries, giving the small panel a sculptural feel.
