Pomegranates | 42 cm x 54.5 cm | Original Paper | The Mediterranean Table

"Split open and abundant. The pomegranate has always meant more than fruit."

Deep, jewel-toned pomegranates glow against a turquoise background reminiscent of the Mediterranean sky in this original acrylic on paper from The Mediterranean Table — Luna Burlo's debut Works on Paper series.

Few fruits carry as much symbolism as the pomegranate. Across the Mediterranean — in Greek mythology, Arabic tradition, and Maltese culture alike — pomegranates represent life, fertility, and abundance. To place a pomegranate on the table is to offer something generous. Split open, its hundreds of seeds shine like jewels and speak of richness, complexity, and history.

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.

For the collector who loves colour with meaning. This piece brings the freshness of a Mediterranean summer and the richness of an ancient story into your space.

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 this option means losing a few centimeters in 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", "Figs", and "Lemons". Each shares the same rich turquoise background and Mediterranean warmth. Collect one or collect them all.
