Avocados and Knife II - Original Oil Painting - Kitchen Art - 4.7x4.7 inches

A fresh, buttery slice of contemporary kitchen art.

"Avocados and knife II" is a vibrant original oil painting that captures the creamy textures and rich colors of a favorite kitchen staple. The composition features two ripe avocado halves resting closely together. One half displays the smooth, dark pit, which is elevated with unexpected flashes of pink and deep magenta, while the other reveals the empty, pale-yellow hollow.

The flesh of the avocados is rendered in a spectrum of electric greens and soft yellows, defined by Alai’s signature thick, expressive brushstrokes. In the upper background, the cool metallic blade of a knife is visible, grounding the piece in a moment of preparation. The entire scene is set against a bright, textured blue background, creating a high-contrast color harmony that makes the greens of the fruit feel incredibly fresh.

Painted on a petite 12x12 cm (4.7x4.7 inch) handmade primed wood panel, this artwork is a tactile feast. The heavy application of oil paint (impasto) gives the avocado skins a dark, pebbled appearance and the interior a lush, sculptural quality. It is a perfect, modern accent for a breakfast nook, a professional kitchen, or a colorful gallery wall.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Bold Color Harmony: The use of vibrant blue as a backdrop for the green and yellow avocados creates an energetic visual pop that is both modern and appetizing.
• Expressive Texture: Thick impasto strokes are used to build the volume of the fruit, making the "creamy" interior of the avocado look almost three-dimensional.
• Unexpected Highlights: Look closely at the pit and the shadows to find Alai's trademark use of vibrant pinks and teals, adding a "vibrating" quality to the still life.
