Figs | 42 cm x 54.5 cm | Original on Paper | The Mediterranean Table

"Ancient, sweet, and unhurried. The fig has fed the Mediterranean soul for thousands of years."

Lush figs rest against a turquoise background reminiscent of the Mediterranean sky in this original acrylic on paper from The Mediterranean Table, Luna Burlo's Works on Paper series.

The fig is one of the oldest cultivated fruits in the world, woven into the mythology, cuisine, and daily life of the Mediterranean for millennia. In Malta and across the region, fig trees grow wild and abundantly — their fruit a symbol of prosperity, fertility, and the quiet sweetness of a life lived close to the earth.

One of just twelve originals in this collection, painted on 210gsm paper and hand-trimmed to approximately 42 x 54.5cm. A slight variation of approximately 0.5cm in height may occur — a natural characteristic of a hand-finished work.

Fresh, bright, and quietly joyful. At home in a kitchen, dining room, or any space that could use a little seaside air.

Framing We recommend professional framing, or a standard 50 x 70cm frame with a 40 x 50cm mat board as a cost-effective alternative, though a few centimeters will be lost from the height. Most works in this series have been composed with this framing option in mind.

This painting is part of a coordinating set of four, alongside "Blood Oranges", "Pomegranates", and "Lemons". Each shares the same rich turquoise background and Mediterranean warmth. Collect one or collect them all.
