Heidi von Faber
Tea Cups - 21st Century Realistic Still-life Painting of Tableware

2024

About the Item

Heidi von Faber (Dutch artist) Tea Cups 30 x 30 cm (framed, included in price 33 x 33 cm) Acryl on canvas In the paintings of The Hague-based artist Heidi von Faber, light plays a key role, often set against dark backgrounds. Her contemporary compositions feature classic lighting, always originating from the left. With von Faber, "playing with light" can be taken quite literally—she skillfully creates entirely different atmospheres simply by repositioning the light source. The artist draws her inspiration from "the old Dutch masters," where light also plays a central role. The simplicity of the objects gives her work a contemporary feel. Glass objects, with or without contents, colorful fruits, coffee cups, rustic bread—these often appear in her work. Over the years, it has become evident that the artist hardly excludes any material. Metal (bronze, silver, gold), fabric, fruits, glass, ceramics, plastics—all make an appearance in her paintings. Despite this wide variety, her subjects always form a "logical whole" when combined in a painting. The atmospheric and warm still lifes evoke a cheerful coziness, enticing delicacies, or a profound sense of calm. But whatever the subject or mood, there is always a perfect balance. Heidi von Faber explains: "I like to create a calming image without unnecessary embellishments. Through simplicity and the choice of objects—often everyday items—my work gains a modern character. I find it important that the composition forms a logical whole and has an atmospheric appearance." With her approach and compositions, the artist offers a unique interpretation and contribution to the still-life genre.

Slumbering Spirit, Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
Located in Zofingen, AG
In the serene stillness of "Slumbering Spirit," part of my contemplative "Thoughts" series, I explore the profound quietude of rest. The painting captures a woman in repose, the very image of tranquility as she lies beneath the delicate branches of a young apple tree, her sleep undisturbed by the world's whispers. The ancient symbols etched upon her shoulder speak of "spirit," hinting at the unseen energy that animates us all, even in our most restful moments. This slumbering form is a sanctuary of peace, her dreams a hidden realm where the spirit roams free. Above her, the apple branches bow gently, a nod to the biblical Eve's apple, symbolizing knowledge, temptation, and the duality of innocence and awareness. It is a fruit laden with the weight of history, yet here it is presented anew, in a light untainted by the past's shadows. This work is an invitation to pause, to reflect on the spirit within and the nature that surrounds us, to find the sacred in the everyday. "Slumbering Spirit" is a celebration of the inner quiet that nourishes the soul and a recognition of the profound narratives that sleep can tell. ABOUT ARTIST: Tetiana Pchelnykova...
