The Citrus Gold of Menton. 2025

This unique work weaves history and nature into a symbolic tapestry, rendered in the artist’s signature style.
Against the silhouette of France, lemon tree branches appear to embrace the country, highlighting how one small town has become the heart of a citrus miracle.

At the point where Menton is located on the map, a flower blooms, its petals subtly forming the word “MENTON.”
Its roots are nourished by lemons — a symbol of how the town’s identity is deeply rooted in its abundant lemon harvests.

The French tricolor winds through the composition like flowing ribbons.
The artist invites a closer look: along the white stripes, one can make out the inscription “Fête du Citron” — the renowned Lemon Festival that has become a defining symbol of Menton.

This is more than just a landscape — it is a citrus poem about land, tradition, and creativity, grown from lemons and sunlight.
