Mario’s Fruit by Marissa Lico – Original painting, Mixed Media on Canvas, Framed in Custom Blackwood. Hand signed and ready to hang.
Spotted on the sun-drenched streets of Lipari, Sicily, Mario’s Fruit captures a real-life scene I encountered while travelling — an everyday moment turned timeless. A local vendor sells fresh fruit from the back of his little truck, embodying a Sicilian tradition that’s as much about community as it is about produce.
The layered textures and warm, muted palette reflect the worn beauty of the island and the simplicity of the scene — crates of citrus and melons under a faded awning, Mario resting in the shade, the truck proudly painted with his name. This piece celebrates the small yet enduring rituals of Italian life, where connection and culture often bloom in the most ordinary places.
