Palm Trees Rising - Vibrant Textural Landscape Oil Painting
Located in Los Angeles, CA
With a contemporary perspective on landscape painting and inspired by paintings created by old masters, German artist Katharina Husslein paints in a representational manner to capture lively bouquets and saturated idyllic landscapes. Her passion for natural beauty is seen in her work as she transforms vistas familiar and rare into stunning interpretations of bold color, playful rhythms, and emotional impact.
Within her impressionist landscape paintings, her experiences abroad truly come to light. These textural and abstract paintings perfectly capture the vibrancy and movement included in a coastal sunset. This series differs from Husslein’s more controlled and smoother still-life floral series which derives a more direct inspiration from art history and representational flower bouquets. Her contemporary floral oil paintings are hyperrealistic works of art full of color, depth, and detail. Flowers’ visual and tactile qualities, as well as their associations with love, femininity, and the natural world, have contributed to Husslein's colorful compositions.
This one-of-a-kind oil painting on canvas measures 39.5 inches high by 31.5 inches wide. It is signed by Husslein on the back. This painting is wired and ready to hang. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
“I create paintings that capture the joy of the moment in time where everything seems quietly perfect and the flowers are in full bloom. A metaphor as old as time, to seize the moment and enjoy it to its fullest extent.” Her high contrast works with bright, saturated colors and dynamic compositions are exciting and stimulating.
Born in Wertheim, Germany, Husslein grew up in a quaint village surrounded by luscious hills and flowing rivers. To grow her practice and widen her perspective, she left Germany to study art in London, UK. As part of her studies, she lived in Los Angeles, New York, and Australia. Now based in Munich, Germany, Husslein has exhibited her artworks across Europe, gaining collectors internationally. Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles has exhibited her original paintings since 2022.

Three Arrows

Located in Denver, CO
Three Arrows is a stunning floral still life from American painter Marc Dennis. Known for his lush and often humorous works rendered in his signature hyperrealistic style, Dennis here has created a work that coyly plays with viewers' perception. The painstakingly realistic floral blossoms that dominate this picture are contrasted by the inclusion of overtly cartoonish botanical masses in the center left of the composition.
Dennis is based in New York, New York, but his life has taken him numerous places. Personal mythologies emerge in his works, alongside references to 19th-century traditional American Western painting...

A Pleasing Bloom-original hyper realism still life painting-contemporary Art
Located in London, Chelsea
"A Pleasing Bloom" by Colin Wilson, a captivating still life masterpiece that brings the essence of nature to life. This original oil painting, skillfully rendered on board, showcases Wilson's mastery in contemporary realism, inviting viewers to savor the beauty of simplicity.
At the heart of the composition, three luscious plums take center stage, their rich, velvety hues of pink exuding a sensuous allure. Each plum is meticulously painted, capturing the subtle variations in color and texture, making them almost palpable. The play of light on the plums creates a dynamic interplay of shadows and highlights, adding depth and dimension to the scene.
The plums rest upon a bed of leaves, their verdant greens providing a harmonious contrast to the vibrant pinks. The leaves, delicately detailed with veins and subtle variations in color, contribute to the overall realism of the piece. Positioned on a dark 3D boxed...

Still-life paintings work as part of the decor in nearly every type of space.
Still-life art, which includes work produced in media such as painting, photography, video and more, is a popular genre in Western art. However, the depiction of still life in color goes back to Ancient Egypt, where paintings on the interior walls of tombs portrayed the objects — such as food — that a person would take into the afterlife. Ancient Greek and Roman mosaics and pottery also often depicted food. Indeed, still-life paintings frequently feature food, flowers or man-made objects. By definition, still-life art represents anything that is considered inanimate.
During the Middle Ages, the still life genre was adapted by artists who illustrated religious manuscripts. A common theme of these paintings is the reminder that life is fleeting. This is especially true of vanitas, a kind of still life with roots in the Netherlands during the 17th century, which was built on themes such as death and decay and featured skulls and objects such as rotten fruit. In northern Europe during the 1600s, painters consulted botanical texts to accurately depict the flowers and plants that were the subject of their work.
Leonardo da Vinci’s penchant for observing phenomena in nature and filling notebooks with drawings and notes helped him improve as an artist of still-life paintings. Vincent van Gogh, an artist who made a couple of the most expensive paintings ever sold, carried out rich experiments with color over the course of painting hundreds of still lifes, and we can argue that Campbell’s Soup Cans (1961–62) by Andy Warhol counts as still-life art.
While early examples were primarily figurative, you can find still lifes that belong to different schools and styles of painting, such as Cubism, Impressionism and contemporary art.
As part of the wall decor in your living room, dining room or elsewhere, a still-life painting can look sophisticated alongside your well-curated decorative objects and can help set the mood in a space.
When shopping for a still-life painting, think about how it makes you feel and how the artist chose to represent its subject. When buying any art for your home, choose pieces that you connect with. If you’re shopping online, read the description of the work to learn about the artist and check the price and shipping information. Make sure that the works you choose complement or relate to your overall theme and furniture style. Artwork can either fit into your room’s color scheme or serve as an accent piece. Introduce new textures to a space by choosing an oil still-life painting.
On 1stDibs, find a collection of still-life paintings in a wide range of styles and subject matter.
