Carolina - Original Oil Painting - Bilbao's Iconic Pastry Art

A sweet taste of home.

"Carolina" is a tribute to one of the most beloved pastries from Bilbao, my homeland in the Basque Country. This iconic dessert, a delicate cone of meringue dipped in egg yolk and chocolate, is more than just a sweet treat; it’s a symbol of Bilbao’s culinary tradition.

Painting this brought back memories of walking past the pastry shop windows in the city. I wanted to capture the distinctive shape and the delicious textures of the meringue and chocolate. At 6x6 inches, it’s a little piece of Basque culture and sweetness that you can keep forever.
