Still life with the memory of summer

In this work, a still life becomes a space for dialogue between color, texture, and form. A dark vase of dried flowers, a discreet and stable centerpiece of the composition, sits against a soft blue background, creating a sense of airiness and tranquility. A vibrant, patterned tablecloth adds rhythm and visual movement, counterbalancing the cool, soft background.
Particularly striking are the flowers, executed in an unusual technique: dense layers of oil paint are squeezed out like cream from a pastry bag, creating an expressive, tactile surface. This detail transforms the painting into an object that begs to be examined up close, sensing the materiality of the brushstrokes.
Pears and deep red cherries add vibrancy and warmth to the composition, evoking the fullness of flavor and the quiet joys of everyday life. The painting combines decorativeness with a contemporary, bold painterly quality, making it a striking accent piece in any interior.
