Natasha Lelenco, Man and Apple After-Dinner, 2020, Acrylic on Canvas

"After-dinner" is a figurative artwork by Moldovan-spanish artist Natasha Lelenco, created in acrylic on canvas. The work, featuring the artist's characteristic contemporary figuration, originates from a portrait of her partner during the Covid pandemic lockdown in the year 2020. A character in an apparent state of desolation is depicted in an interior with warm tones, surrounded by plant elements that evoke the idea of imprisoned nature or the impossibility of experiencing nature in its pure state. An apple and a crumpled paper ball suggest the notions of doubt and uncertainty, adding a surrealistic element to the composition.
