ABOUT THE ARTWORK:

Angela Faustina’s sticky sweet oil paintings transform glistening fruit into its own unique world. Capturing juicy, perfectly ripe pulp in each brushstroke, her work focuses on the beauty and vibrancy of life. Read more about her artwork here.

Oranges symbolize good fortune, new beginnings, wealth, and happiness in Chinese and Japanese culture. They also embody resurrection and eternal life in European culture and art. Nothing going right in your life? In feng shui, it is often recommended to have 9 oranges in one’s living room or kitchen for good luck and prosperity.

Citrus fruit is also associated with wealth, weddings, marriages and love, throughout art history. In ancient times, it was a symbol of status and wealth. In feng shui, citrus wards off bad luck.
