Cashew Apple and Nut - A Goan Icon in Oils.

This miniature oil painting celebrates one of Goa’s most vibrant treasures – the red-orange cashew apple with its curious grey nut. This mini oil is presented in a beautifully crafted large frame, conceptualised by the artist, drawing the eye to the vibrant fruit and accentuating it's charm and vivid colour.

The cashew apple is more than just a fruit in Goa – it is part of the state’s cultural food & beverage scene. From the simple joy of plucking cashews in season, to the first and subsequent press of the cashew apple to make signature local drinks, the cashew has long symbolised Goan heritage and festivity.

Seen in this little oil art, the fiery cashew apple and its grey nut is an ode to nature’s circle of life.

Fun facts! The vibrant cashew apple is a ‘false fruit,’ while the grey cashew below is the true fruit—holding within it the nut we know and love, the seed of renewal!

Framed with care to highlight the intimacy of the miniature canvas, this piece transforms into a statement of cultural pride and timeless simplicity.
