Still Life with Pomegranates, Metal Vase, and Ceramic Plate. This composition features a metal vase, a ceramic plate, and ripe pomegranates, drawing inspiration from a 16th-century artwork attributed—though uncertainly—to Caravaggio during the Baroque period. Remarkably, this painting is one of five of my works that survived significant damage when I rescued them from my war-torn home in Syria, carrying with it not only historical resonance but also profound personal meaning.
