About the Item

Raymond Bonilla’s "Study for 'Before The Trip'" is a 2023 oil painting on panel measuring 10 x 10 inches, with a framed size of 13 x 13 inches. The piece is framed and ready to hang. This intimate still life depicts a vibrant bowl brimming with fruit, including apples, lemons, and limes, viewed from a dramatic overhead perspective. Bonilla’s expressive brushwork and nuanced palette capture the lush textures and subtle interplay of warm and cool tones. Saturated reds, yellows, and greens dominate the composition, their surfaces touched by natural light that casts soft-edged shadows and glowing highlights. The dark indigo and violet hues of the background enhance the sense of depth and bring forward the luminous quality of the fruit. Despite its small scale, the work conveys weight and presence, showcasing the artist’s mastery of form and light. As a preparatory study for the larger painting "Before The Trip," this piece stands on its own as a testament to Bonilla’s process and sensitivity to composition. It would make a striking addition to a collection focused on contemporary realism, expressive still life, or modern interpretations of classical subjects.
