Harvest of Life
Special Medium: Rust
30 in by 40 in
In this vibrant piece of artwork by the First Filipino Rust Painter, Ramon H. Lopez, it captures a serene rural scene of a family gathering beneath the shade of a tree, sharing the fruits of their labor. The rust adds a textural depth, particularly in the baskets, giving the piece a sense of warmth and authenticity. The acrylic paints illuminate the scene with lively, earthy greens, warm pinks, and yellows, symbolizing the abundance of nature and the strength of family unity.
The figures are abstracted, allowing the focus to be more on the collective experience of harvesting, nurturing, and sharing. The baskets are filled with fruits—pineapples, apples, and leafy greens—representing nourishment and sustenance. A mother cradles her child, symbolizing the continuity of life and the nurturing role of family. The angular and geometric shapes of the figures combined with the soft color palette create a modern yet organic style that blends abstraction with rural realism.
