About Plum

Ciba Karisik favours the tradition of highly realistic still life’s. In a series of compelling pastels reminiscent of European masters, he has captured single ‘portraits’ of various fruits. This charming piece features a perfect plum. The colour palette is rich and warm—the deep blue of the plum skillfully highlighted with a melange of colours—orange, pink and white sits in the center of the frame against a deep orange backdrop.

“I would like the viewer to pause, consider, and behold timeless objects that keep our memories and communicate messages across time. “ Ciba Karisik

In 1985, he completed a bachelor’s and master’s degree in painting at the Sarajevo Academy of Fine Art. In 1992, Karisik immigrated to Canada where he continued his career. Since then, he has produced a significant body of work and exhibited regularly in solo and group exhibitions. His paintings are held in international corporate and private collections including those of Brian Mulroney, Alex Trebek, Martin Short, Martha Stewart and U2’s Bono.
