Banana - Original Oil Painting - Pop Art Fruit Peel - 9 inches

Finding the art in the aftermath.

"Banana" is a playful original oil painting that turns a discarded object into a study of color and form. The composition focuses on a peeled banana skin, its organic curves rendered in sunny yellows and ochres, dotted with realistic brown spots. The peel floats in a dreamy, airy space, surrounded by soft, swirling brushstrokes of pastel blue, pink, and white.

Painted on a 23x23 cm (approx. 9x9 inch) handmade wood panel, this piece is defined by its texture. Alai’s signature thick impasto brings the fibrous inside of the peel to life, creating a tactile contrast with the smooth, sweeping strokes of the background. It’s a witty, lighthearted piece that adds a pop of humor and color to a kitchen or casual living space.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Unexpected Subject: Elevating a simple banana peel into fine art creates a fun, pop-art vibe.
• Pastel Harmony: The gentle blue and pink background provides a soothing contrast to the vibrant, warm yellow of the fruit skin.
• Textural Depth: The heavy paint application gives the object dimension, making it cast shadows that change with the light.
