Bitterballen - Original Oil Painting - Dutch Food Art - 6 inches

A warm, crispy bite of painted comfort.

"Bitterballen" is a mouth-watering original oil painting that captures the savory delight of the beloved Dutch snack in vibrant color. The composition features three perfectly golden-brown, crispy bitterballen resting on a bright, cobalt blue square napkin. One of the warm croquettes is playfully bitten open to reveal the rich, savory meat filling inside, while a small metal dish filled with bright yellow mustard sits alongside for dipping. This appetizing spread is served on a soft pastel plate against a dreamy, highly textured lilac and pink background.

Painted on a petite 15x15 cm (6x6 inch) Trekell hardboard panel, this piece is packed with dynamic, expressive brushwork. Alai’s signature thick impasto technique perfectly renders the crunchy, textured exterior of the deep-fried snack and the smooth, creamy swirls of the dipping mustard. It is a warm, delicious addition to a kitchen, dining room, or a fun, food-themed gallery wall.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Bold Contrast: The complementary pairing of the golden-orange bitterballen and yellow mustard against the intense cobalt blue napkin makes the food pop instantly.
• Appetizing Texture: Thick, confident oil strokes masterfully capture the contrast between the crispy fried shell and the soft, savory filling.
• Cultural Charm: A beautiful, pop-art-inspired homage to a classic European street food, perfect for foodies and travelers alike.
