About the Item

Hela is an emerging contemporary artist whose vibrant and playful paintings celebrate the quiet glamour of everyday life. With a focus on table settings, cocktails, glassware, and elegantly arranged tables, she creates modern still lifes that blend simplicity with bold color and charm. Her pared-back yet colorful style transforms ordinary moments into joyful visual statements. Trained as a fashion designer at the renowned Pforzheim University of Arts and Design in Germany, Hela spent several years in the fashion industry. Painting was a parallel passion she nurtured alongside her design career until it naturally evolved into her primary creative focus. Her fashion background deeply influences her artistic process, informing the balance, precision, and keen eye for color and form that define her compositions. There’s a graphic clarity to her work that feels both effortless and intentional, reflecting a modern and stylish sensibility. Today, Hela’s paintings offer a fresh perspective on still life—inviting viewers into a world of light, leisure, and understated sophistication, all conveyed through her distinctive and evolving visual language.

Lemon - original realism still life painting - contemporary Art
Located in London, Chelsea
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. With astonishing clarity and kinetic grace, Lemon by Heinz Schönhammer captures the exhilarating moment citrus meets water. The scene bursts to life as glowing yellow slices plunge into a pristine glass, scattering droplets and swirls in high-definition precision. Every splash and bubble is suspended in time, rendered in oil with such finesse that the viewer feels the chill and fizz of impact. Schönhammer’s technical prowess invites awe—his ability to manipulate paint into liquid transparency and refracted light is nothing short of masterful. The luminous oranges glow from within, while the glass shimmers with crisp refractions and dynamic shadows. The contrast between the stark, moody background and the effervescent motion within the glass electrifies the composition. Lemon becomes a study in energy and clarity, elevating a simple subject into an extraordinary meditation on light, texture, and immediacy. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Artist Biography: Heinz Schönhammer was born in Vienna, Austria. After completing his fine art studies, he sought artistic inspiration across Europe, traveling to the Netherlands and Germany before eventually settling in Turin, Italy.
