Raymond Bonilla"Before Grace" – Oil Painting, Still Life with Wrapped Fruit2023
2023
About the Item
"Before Grace" by Raymond Bonilla is a luminous oil on panel still life measuring 12 x 24 inches unframed and 15 x 27 inches framed. This richly colored composition captures an assortment of fruit—including apples, oranges, and a pear—gently nestled in crinkled white and pale blue wrapping paper. The work is a meditation on light and texture, where Bonilla’s subtle color shifts and impressionistic brushwork evoke a moment of quiet preparation, perhaps before a meal or an offering.
Cool purples and violets bathe the scene in early morning or twilight hues, while warm highlights on the fruit provide vibrant contrast. The wrapping paper, rendered with exquisite attention to translucency and form, adds an ethereal touch that heightens the sense of reverence in the composition. The surface treatment combines precise realism with expressive gesture, drawing the viewer into an atmosphere that feels both intimate and timeless.
Signed in the lower right corner, the painting is presented in a brushed metallic frame that complements its palette and is ready to hang. "Before Grace" is an outstanding example of Bonilla’s ability to elevate everyday subjects through refined technique and emotive light.
