Original artwork description:

As for me, still life is the most experimental genre in painting, where an artist can try out new techniques and methods of work. Here, the experiment lies in the bold juxtaposition of contrast colors. The painting is full with the energy of opposing hues – the deep, almost black shadows against the warm, golden ochre background, the flashes of fiery orange and cool blue peeking through the darkness. There's a sense of life in these objects, they exist in a dynamic relationship with each other and the surrounding space. The bottles and pitcher, clustered together, seem to engage in a conversation, their forms leaning and overlapping, creating a sense of intimacy and connection. The shadows shift and twist, obscuring details and creating an air of mystery. They hint at unseen depths, at a reality that lies beyond the surface of things . The eye is constantly drawn back and forth, from the solid presence of the objects to the ethereal nature of their shadows. This creates a sense of dynamism, a feeling that the painting is alive with unseen forces. It's as if we are witnessing a dialogue between the known and the unknown, transforming the still life from a simple arrangement of objects into a captivating study of presence and absence. In essence, this still life is a meditation on the nature of reality and perception.
