Of all the usual subject matter of still lifes—vessels, food, flowers, books, clothing—the most appealing is fruit: luscious and tempting the viewer to imagine its flavors and textures. Roberto Azank has a delicate touch with fruit, symbolic reminders of life’s sweetness and its brevity.

Roberto Azank’s more complex compositions show the artist’s impressive ability to capture the gleam of glass and china vases and the shine of metallic objects. Shadows of the objects add another dimension to the still life paintings, which stand out in stark relief from their pristine backgrounds.
