Fruits: Beloved

2024



Fruits are more than just food—they are symbols of warmth, nostalgia, and the simple joys of life. From the vibrant reds of ripe strawberries to the golden glow of a freshly peeled orange, each fruit carries its own story, culture, and emotion.

This illustration series, Fruits: Beloved, is a tribute to the beauty, color, and personality of nature’s sweetest creations. Whether it’s the comforting sweetness of summer peaches, the refreshing burst of watermelon, or the quiet elegance of a fig, these artworks capture the essence of fruits as more than just nourishment—they are beloved companions in our daily lives.
