REGALA | OSCAR CALLEJA

Sweet Objects: Óscar Calleja Shoots Regala • For Regala's campaign, Óscar Calleja introduces an unexpected ingredient: chocolate. Squares of it, bars of it, sweets arranged in grids. Placed beside bags, shoes and jewellery, the effect is disarming without being cute. The palette is warm and edible throughout, deep browns, forest greens, burnt orange. Each composition plays on texture and resemblance, a quilted bag beside a chocolate bar, a jewelled piece resting on a grid of sugar-dusted sweets. The visual rhymes are precise and quietly funny. It is gift-giving reframed as still life. Calleja makes desire feel almost tangible.
