About the Item

Work on canvas Golden wooden frame 70.5 x 81.5 x 6 cm This artwork illustrates a vibrant, texture-rich still life. In the center, a massive and imposing metal pot immediately captures the attention. Its surface, marked by shades of gray and copper, skilfully reflects the surrounding light, creating a fascinating play of reflections. Around the pot, three fruits arranged with calculated precision embellish the composition: a bright orange, a bright yellow lemon and a second orange. These fruits provide a pop of bright color that contrasts effectively with the darker background. A vase containing a flower in purple and yellow hues nestles discreetly next to the pot, adding a dimension of delicacy and subtlety. The choice of colors for the flower creates visual harmony with the fruits, while bringing additional depth to the whole. The background, composed of wide vertical bands in shades of brown and green, perfectly frames the scene. The blue fabric this arrangement sits on adds another layer of texture and color, its drape creating a sense of peaceful movement. Every element of this painting has been carefully considered, creating a delicate balance between robustness and softness. The dynamic and expressive brushstrokes bring a vitality that seems almost palpable. It is a work which, while rooted in the tradition of still lifes, stands out for its modernity and chromatic boldness.
