Ilaria,
Wow, I really love these! The colors in both are exciting. It could have been a monochromatic painting, with the chef sitting there against a white wall dressed in white. Instead it's a polychrome treat. You found all those colors and made them work, made them stay where they belong. I think a lot of people don't realize how hard that is to do.
I also like the composition of the first one, the horizontal format and the way the shadows balance the figure and relate to him and the shape of his hat. There are just enough deeper shadows to add richness but not heaviness.
