Ciba Karisik favours the tradition of highly realistic still life’s. In a series of compelling still life’s reminiscent of European masters, he has captured single ‘portraits’ of various fruits. This charming pastel features a single luscious strawberry rendered in exquisite detail—bright red against a golden backdrop. To add dimension and drama to this piece, the reflection of the fruit is mirrored in the shiny surface of the table it is sitting on.“My paintings are symbolic, experimental and nostalgic, telling eloquent stories of humanity.” 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.
