About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. "The Light of Love" offers a striking play between softness and strength, with a pale lavender-blue peony emerging vividly against a deep black background. The sharp contrast heightens the elegance of every curve and fold of the petals.
Here, the bloom seems almost illuminated from within, its cool tones glowing against the inky darkness. Subtle gradations of colour and shadow render each detail with remarkable realism, while the smooth background enhances the flower’s presence, making it feel both fragile and powerful at once.
"The Light of Love" is a celebration of contrast and emotion—where vulnerability becomes a radiant beacon. It captures the intensity of fleeting beauty with a poised, painterly hand.
Artist Biography:
Antra Richards was born on June 15, 1968, in Riga, Latvia. A gifted and accomplished artist, she graduated from the Janis Rozentals Art Secondary School and the Latvian Academy of Arts. Known for her emotionally evocative style, Antra currently devotes her practice to painting flowers, capturing their delicate beauty with intricate detail and a deep reverence for nature.
Antra's artistic journey has been one of continuous exploration and refinement. Her works are marked by a harmonious blend of emotion, precision, and atmosphere—qualities that deeply resonate with viewers. Influenced by her family's creative legacy, Antra’s passion for art emerged early. At just six years old, she held her first exhibition, a testament to her natural talent and early dedication.
Following her formal education, Antra collaborated with architects while also pursuing painting and interior design. She approaches each interior project with the same sensitivity and creativity she brings to her canvases, drawing inspiration from her favorite architect, the acclaimed Peter Zumthor.
Today, Antra exhibits her work in numerous exhibitions annually. For the past two years, she has lived and worked in Spain, where her studio serves as both a creative sanctuary and a lively space for painting masterclasses. These sessions allow her to share her passion and inspire emerging artists.
Antra’s love of nature fuels her artistic vision. She frequently visits botanical gardens and private estates around the world, gathering inspiration for her vibrant floral compositions. Through her art, she invites viewers into a world of colour, elegance, and serenity—each piece a window into the natural beauty she cherishes. For Antra, painting is as vital as breathing—an inseparable expression of her inner world and her deep connection to the life around her.

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.
