Greek Salad

oil on canvas 100 x 88 cm

‘You say tomato, I say Greek Salad.’ - Katerina Larsen

Sun-warm realism with emotional voltage.
This painting is about appetite, not just for food, but for life, touch, salt, heat, being wanted, being known.

There’s something casually intimate here - the off-the-shoulder cotton, the black strap, the cross resting against her collarbone. It feels like late afternoon on a balcony by the sea. Not styled. Not posed. Just lived.

It’s domestic sensuality, the kind passed down in kitchens, at tables, in glances across summer light.

Not a performance.
A remembering.

Collector’s Note:
Greek Salad is considered an early signature work in Larsen’s breakout cinematic realist style- where Greek heritage enters the work not as symbol, but as temperature.

Here, the visual language that will become signature first becomes unmistakable:

- quiet sensuality
- feminine self-possession
- mythic everyday intimacy

This is a foundation work, for collectors who understand that intimacy is its own form of power.
