Sharon Fruit
"Sharon Fruit" by Iveta Mokatz is a vibrant diptych that beautifully captures the essence and allure of the persimmon fruit, rendered across two panels that together form a heart-shaped motif. The artwork is striking for its bold, vivid orange hues, textured with dynamic brushstrokes that convey the natural imperfections and rich tactile quality of the fruit's skin. The deep, warm orange is complemented by a lush green crown, enhancing the organic feel and visual impact of the composition.
This diptych not only celebrates the physical beauty of the persimmon but also symbolizes abundance and nourishment. The heart shape formed by the two panels invites interpretations of love, health, and vitality—themes commonly associated with harvest time. Mokatz’s use of a simplified background focuses the viewer's attention on the textural contrasts and the depth of color within the fruit, highlighting her skill in transforming everyday subjects into striking, emotive artworks.
