Comment

The composition aims to illustrate the fruits that life provides to man, man will be able to use them to make his food varied and attractive. To them, the fruits of love, man will entrust his survival in the succession of generations. The composition, created on a constructivist basis (forgetting for a moment the cherub and the fruit) reaches the essentiality of concrete art.
