TOUCAN

MEDIUM: Acrylic on canvas

​

Surrounded by an abundance of fruits and vegetables, the irony of this painting is that the toucan falls into temptation and chooses tobacco over food. It conveys a message of consumption and greed in the end, expressing that we often desire what we do not have or need, even when it is right in front of us. The fruits and vegetables are colourful, with each type featuring specific, detailed patterns to represent them.
