In Breakfast Treat, Mayrig Simonjan elevates a humble morning ritual into a sensuous, painterly feast. A perfectly stacked tower of golden pancakes—lightly crisped at the edges and tender at the centre—sits majestically on a muted ceramic plate. Cascading ribbons of rich chocolate sauce glisten under a subtle light source, pooling gently at the base and clinging to the airy crevices between layers. Lush strawberries and plump blueberries crown the composition, their saturated reds and deep blues rendered with jewel-like intensity.
Simonjan’s classical realism shines through in the velvety shadows, soft edge work, and meticulous detailing that recalls Dutch still life traditions. The dark, minimal background isolates the subject, inviting focused contemplation. Every seed on a strawberry, every glossy droplet of syrup, every warm highlight on the pancakes is painted with reverence, encouraging the viewer to savour the image as one would a bite.
Despite the luscious subject, this work is more than a visual indulgence—it is a meditation on craftsmanship, comfort, and the quiet beauty of daily pleasure. Simonjan captures a fleeting moment and imbues it with permanence, transforming breakfast into a timeless symbol of care and nourishment.
Breakfast Treat is a sumptuous celebration of texture, light, and realism—now available at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
