About the artwork

Mike Ruiz is the author of striking images created according to different artistic influences. By focusing on her beauty, he captured a young woman lying confidently on a banquet table, enjoying the abundance of food on offer for her. Referring to traditional still lifes, subtly chosen plants and fruit are laid out on the table in a cleverly constructed set. Their colours are revealed by the precision of the lighting work. Like a sculptor revealing a form in a block of marble, the photographer comes to illuminate and create the meaning found in the material. In a style that combines mystery and familiarity, formal perfection and poetic depth, Mike Ruiz seems to evoke the Dutch School that developed in the Netherlands during the Renaissance, and notably in the genre scenes of painter Johannes Vermeer. Dramatic and seductive, this composition was created in November 2011 in New York for Lush magazine.
