Drawing inspiration from poetry and the passage of time, Fed by the Sun is a meditation on nature, light, and transience. The painting takes its title from a poem by Wordsworth, whose reflections on life, death, and renewal resonate through the composition. Set within the circular format of the tondo, delicate floral elements unfold in quiet contemplation, their presence both ephemeral and enduring.

Balancing themes of decay and vitality, the work captures a sense of the numinous—an atmosphere of deep stillness and quiet awe. Rich in symbolism, it echoes the tradition of Dutch and Spanish still-life painting, while its soft tonal shifts and interplay of light evoke a timeless serenity.
