Pomegranates

With its bold flavours and rich colours, the pomegranate traces back to 3,500 B.C. The countless seeds inside this large, blushed-red berry have rendered the pomegranate symbolic of prosperity, eternal life, wisdom, fertility, and good luck.

The pastel layering technique evident in this artwork achieves subtle variations of colour that accurately represent the glow and transparency of the pomegranate seed.
