Wild Strawberry - original still life impressionism painting - contemporary art

2025

About the Item

This elegantly framed artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. A quiet yet poignant study of nature’s simple beauty, Wild Strawberry captures the essence of growth, transition, and fleeting ripeness. The single, fully matured strawberry sits gracefully on a stark surface, its deep red hue glowing against the soft neutral background. Attached to its delicate stem are two smaller, unripe berries—symbols of potential and time, still waiting to reach their full sweetness. Titorenkov’s masterful brushwork imbues the painting with a quiet stillness, where every detail—the strawberry’s tiny seeds, the curling tendrils of its stem, and the fragile green sepals—feels alive. The contrast between the ripe fruit and its yet-to-develop companions suggests the passage of time, adding a contemplative depth to the composition. Shadows are subtly applied, enhancing the realism and drawing the viewer into the scene. More than just a still life, Wild Strawberry speaks of patience, of nature’s rhythm, and the beauty found in life’s smallest, most delicate forms. It is a meditation on growth and change, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the quiet wonders of the everyday. Artist Bio: Born in 1963 in Kotel, Bulgaria, Alexander Titorenkov is a renowned painter whose works masterfully blend hyperrealism with elements of photorealism and surrealism. His unique artistic voice has earned him a significant place in contemporary art, with his paintings housed in prestigious collections worldwide. Titorenkov's artistic journey began in 1982 when he graduated from the Art School in Sofia, Bulgaria. He continued his education at The Glasgow School of Art in Scotland, where he specialized in Mural Painting in 1990. The following year, he graduated from the National Art Academy in Sofia with a Master of Arts (Hons) in Mural Painting, further cementing his mastery of the craft. Over the course of his career, Titorenkov has participated in numerous group art exhibitions from 1988 to 2017, showcasing his exceptional technical skill and unique vision. His paintings are recognized for their precise details and intricate compositions, which reflect both classical training and modern sensibilities. Titorenkov's style is rooted in hyperrealism, but he often incorporates elements of photorealism and surrealism to create a dynamic tension in his work. He chose these styles as the most fitting means of expressing his sense of form and artistic ideas. For Titorenkov, the academic foundation of form and image serves as a tool for exploring modern and abstract concepts, allowing for personal interpretation by each viewer. While his compositions may appear hyperrealistic, they often touch on universal, timeless themes and evoke deep, philosophical questions. The technique Titorenkov employs is known for its meticulous attention to detail and time-consuming nature. His works require immense patience and precision, with each painting taking great care to achieve the level of realism and depth that defines his style. As he explains, this challenging process is integral to the emotional and aesthetic power of his art, and he hopes that viewers will appreciate the true merits of his work. Titorenkov's work has been featured in major collections, including the National Art Gallery in Sofia, Bulgaria, as well as in private collections across the USA, the UK, Australia, the Netherlands, Israel, Spain, and Germany. He has received prestigious accolades throughout his career, including First Prize in the National Art Academy Competition in Sofia in 1989 and First Prize in an International Art Competition in New York’s Soho, Art 54 Gallery, in 1993. Explore the captivating realism collection by renowned artist Alexander Titorenkov, available for purchase exclusively at Signet Contemporary Art. These meticulously crafted works showcase Alexander Titorenkov’s exceptional skill and dedication to capturing the world in stunning detail. Whether you’re looking to enhance your personal art collection or bring a piece of art into your home, you can experience the beauty of these paintings from the comfort of your own space through our online gallery. “My artistic style is rooted in hyperrealism, with elements of photorealism and occasional touches of surrealism. I chose these styles because they best express my sense of form and ideas. Through my work, I aim to showcase the academic foundation of form and image as a tool for developing modern and abstract concepts—ideas that can be interpreted by everyone in their own way. Despite the hyperrealistic nature of my compositions, they often explore universal themes and timeless subjects. I am deeply inspired by the great masters of the Renaissance and often wonder how their works would evolve if they lived in the 20th or 21st century. In a way, I secretly hope that some of their paintings might resemble mine. The technique I employ is both challenging and time-consuming, requiring patience and precision in every detail. I hope that viewers will appreciate the dedication and care invested in each piece, recognizing the true merit of the work.”- Alexander Titorenkov

Still Life with Grapes - original still life realism painting - contemporary art
Located in London, Chelsea
Dramatic and luxurious, Still Life with Grapes is a striking study of contrast, texture, and abundance. The deep blue-black grapes spill onto a delicate porcelain plate, their clustered forms exuding a natural opulence. The twisting vine, reaching upward like a sculptural relic, adds an element of wild elegance, while the surrounding leaves, tinged with autumnal hues, remind us of the inevitable change of seasons. Titorenkov’s exquisite use of light and shadow heightens the depth of this composition—the grapes shimmer under soft illumination, each one a study in transparency and reflection. The intricate blue patterns of the plate lend an air of timeless refinement, grounding the composition in a sense of tradition. Against the stark darkness of the background, the fruit and its organic details stand out with mesmerizing clarity. This painting is more than a depiction of fruit; it is a testament to nature’s richness, to the beauty of growth and decay, and to the fleeting, yet eternal, nature of the harvest. Still Life with Grapes speaks of abundance, nostalgia, and the simple pleasures of the earth’s bounty.
