*Sprouting Onion* Hand-Painted Oil Painting, Not a Print

Each artwork is unique, not a reproduction or print. *Sprouting Onion* is my original creation, completed in 2025. The painting measures 30x40 cm. Created with oil paints on canvas/paper, it is preserved for a lifetime with proper care. It can be stored flat in a folder. A reference photo showing the texture of the paper used is included. My sister grew these onions in Japan, and we all enjoy watching plants quietly grow. I wonder if the onions are ready to eat now? The onion, a ubiquitous vegetable in our lives, symbolizes "truth," "family," "complexity," and "the foundation of life." A sprouting onion adds layers of meaning, representing "rebirth," "resilience," and "unexpected beauty." The round blue vessel acts as a small throne supporting the onion, bestowing a sense of noble yet whimsical symbolism. The composition exhibits excellent balance, with geometric color blocks transforming the still life into something with an architectural sense of order. The presence of yellow, blue, and red—primary colors—evokes the exploration of pure form in modern art. Yet, this is not an abstract piece but a realistic still life deeply rooted in everyday life, achieving a delicate equilibrium between the rational and the emotional. This is an onion forgotten by life, yet it quietly sprouts in silence. Life never announces itself ostentatiously; even when left in a kitchen corner, it chooses to grow. This painting is a tribute to the idea that "the ordinary is extraordinary." ▫️ All items are photographed in kind.
