As my forte is fruit or flowers, as well as objet d'art often from earlier centuries, this one has a woven mat from a Polynesian island. The fullness of the organic fruit in the painting speaks about the ancient symbol of the cornucopia, meaning prosperity in food, set in a new way being an a flat basket. All set on a corner of an antique table with a 17th century agate handle fruit knife, in a classic composition. Framed in a double frame.
Table laden with fruit, in a basket, pineapple, peaches on front left etc.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Kivits’ classic oeuvre includes not only original Still-life’s, but also Fruit and Floral compositions, Landscapes, Seascapes and Figurative works in glazes of oil-paint. Predominantly tapping into his antique collection for inspiration, his works take considerably longer to produce; hence a small number of masterpieces are created annually.
True traditional realism, all in the line from the Sixteenth century European Masters onward, he is staying true to these time-proven styles, refusing digital means to aid his work, e.g. projection, pre-printed canvas, grid tracings, or anything but the skill of his own eyes to hand.
Dutch-born Kivits' has firmly established himself in Australia as a legitimate Brand over the years, and his creations have found their ways to art lovers in many developed countries.
