This original work «A pear lying there, but you cant eat it» was created by contemporary Russian artist Petr Maslov and is available for purchase online.
The painting by Petr Maslov “A pear lying there, but you cant eat it” – a piece that challenges perception, prompting the viewer to reflect on the nature of reality, illusion, and the unattainability of desire. The artist creates an abstract composition where familiar shapes are transformed, generating new meanings and sensations.
The title of the painting immediately sets the tone. The pear, as a symbol of fertility, abundance, and taste, appears here in an inaccessible form. This can be a metaphor for unfulfilled desires, unattainable goals, or simply a play on our perception where the object is present but cannot be used as intended.
At the center of the composition are abstract shapes resembling elements that could form a pear but do not. Geometric shapes – rectangles, squares, circles – are arranged in a way that creates a sense of structure while simultaneously hinting at its incompleteness. Red, golden, green, and blue shades blend to create bright yet somewhat detached colors.
The red color, dominating the left part of the painting, symbolizes passion and energy, but in this context, it may also signify inaccessibility or danger. The golden color possibly hints at value but also something beyond our reach. The green color, usually associated with nature and life, here appears somewhat distant, as if it is merely part of the landscape rather than the object itself.
The texture of the painting also plays an important role. Thickly applied brushstrokes create relief, adding volume and tactility to the work. These textures may symbolize different layers of reality, layers of our consciousness that we try to unravel.
“A pear lying there, but you cant eat it” is a work that evokes deep reflection. It makes one think about how we perceive the world, how we build our desires, and how often reality differs from our expectations. Petr Maslov’s painting is not just an image but a metaphor inviting exploration, the search for hidden meanings, and an understanding that sometimes the most desired things remain out of our reach. This piece leaves a sense of ambiguity and encourages further contemplation.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, becoming a beautiful decoration for your interior.
