Summer Peppers is a vibrant nod to the joy and abundance of the warmer months—a still life that captures the essence of everyday beauty through fresh seasonal color and playful pattern. Radiant peppers and floral motifs come together in a composition that celebrates both simplicity and thoughtful design.

Clear primary tones mingle with soft pastels, creating a lively yet balanced atmosphere that feels sunlit and familiar. As with much of my work, this piece was inspired by what was fresh and within reach—part of an ongoing rhythm that honors the shifting seasons.

I often look to humble ingredients like fruits and vegetables to explore color, shape, and mood in new ways. Influences from Cézanne, Matisse, and Münter quietly echo through my process—each one a reminder of how everyday subjects can carry deep poetry.
