Choosing to use a bounded palette in the Fructus, Olus and Domus series is at once both a liberating and extremely deliberate act.

Rosalia draws on her art conservator colour-mixing and matching skills to precisely reproduce the shades yearned in each colour combination. Picking up predetermined hues frees up artistic energy to focus on the creative act of playing with shape, movement and fundamental nature.

Out of this game, plump, essential fruits and vegetables and simple, mundane objects are born, harnessing the paper’s white background or the wood grain as the very outline that carves them from the swathe of vibrant colours.
