Is this a painting, or actual fruit?
If fruit, how long did it last until the apples turned brown?
Not familiar with the artist, but I think it's a photograph of actual fruit.
If so, either the apples were cut last, or, more likely, they put some lemon juice on the exposed apple flesh to keep it from browning (or both).
I followed @witenry for years on Instagram when I still used it. This is his whole shtick - making art pieces with cut food -, and he's really good at it.
Looks pretty real to me.
FWIW: You can slow down the rate at which cut apples turn brown by using lemon juice and according to the internet even salt water and honey water can help.
If you spray cut apples with a bit of lemon juice you can keep them from browning for quite a while.
