"white and yellow package", painted in 2005, is a good example of bravo's continuation of the parcel series. one of the first things to catch the eye is his use of trompe l'oeil, a technique from the baroque period meaning "to deceive the eye", used to create the illusion of three-dimensionality. this painting style is similar to his approach to still lifes and helps to emphasize the tactile qualities of the paper. the way the package fills the frame elevates its status in a similar manner to what pop art was doing in the 60s when he began. it also abstracts the package, almost breaking it into clean color blocks, if it weren't for the string keeping it contained. this abstraction is similar to rothko’s paintings that employ fields of color and encourage almost a meditative state.
