Fruit rendered with painterly precision, from the texture of the skin to the way light falls across a bowl. This collection brings together studies in patience and observation, each canvas built one careful detail at a time.

SoldThis collection holds 20 fruit still lifes, all painted in acrylic by Felix Catarata in Bogo City, Cebu. The subjects are everyday ones: fresh buko, a ripe melon, fruit carried home from the province. What makes them worth a wall is the attention. Each canvas is built slowly, from the texture of the skin to the way light falls across the table.
Sizes run from 9 by 12 inch studies that suit a kitchen shelf or a narrow wall, up to 48 by 36 inch canvases made to anchor a dining room. If you are choosing for a room where people eat, we also keep a wider set in Around the Table.
Every painting here is a single original, never a print. 9 are available now, from ₱1,500. The price on each listing excludes the shipping fee, which is calculated at checkout. Pieces marked Reserved or Sold stay on the page as a record of the series.
Originals. Each one is the single physical painting the artist made, and we don't sell prints or editions of it. Once it sells, it is marked sold and can't be bought again.
No. A reserved painting can't be bought on the site. Its page has a button to message the artist and request a commission instead, which is the way to ask for a similar piece.
Dining rooms and kitchens are the usual choice, because food on the wall suits the room where food is shared. Small studies also sit well in a hallway or beside a shelf, where people see them up close.
