About the Item
Work on canvas
Dimensions with frame : 48 x 65 x 4 cm
This work of art is a still life that accurately captures the essence of everyday objects, painted with careful attention to detail. At the center of the composition, an open book reveals its pages, creating a focal point that draws the viewer's eye and evokes a world of knowledge and literary adventure. Around this book, other works, closed books with red, green and blue covers, are superimposed in a carefully balanced pile, suggesting the importance of reading and intellectual curiosity. Adjacent to these books is a wooden pipe, resting on a glass ashtray which bears witness to a time when introspective reflection was often accompanied by plumes of smoke. The pipe, symbol of contemplation, is accompanied by a box of matches, emphasizing the intimate aspect of this study corner. In the background, a green ceramic pot containing pencils adds an artistic dimension to the scene, signifying creative intersection. Next to it, a small saucer containing obscure objects completes this domestic and studious atmosphere. The dark background highlights the vibrant colors of each element, creating a harmonious contrast that brings the scene to life. This still life conveys a mood of tranquility and intellectualism, prompting the viewer to appreciate the simple yet profound beauty of ordinary objects and their ability to tell a silent but eloquent story.
