PORTRAIT OF MR. SILVERBEET - MIZUHO ASAO

PORTRAIT OF MR. SILVERBEET - MIZUHO ASAO

One of the paintings from my Food Portrait series in 2018, following

my conceptual ritual - finding a unique character, drawing it to study

and better understand it, painting it to best portray its essence, and

then cooking with and eating it to complete the process.

Through this exercise I can best enjoy and appreciate all the

dimensions of the specimen - its form, colour, volume, texture, smell

and flavour.
