Original artwork description:

This pastel painting presents a carefully composed still life, where form, light, and texture take center stage. A large, rounded porcelain vase dominates the composition, its surface shifting from light grey to deep shadow, emphasizing its volume and smoothness. To its left, a smaller smoky grey glass vase provides contrast with its transparency and delicate appearance. A thin branch with three small leaves extends from the glass vase, introducing an organic element that subtly breaks the symmetry. In the foreground, two yellow lemons rest on the surface, their vibrant color standing out against the subdued palette of greys and muted blues.

The background transitions from a blue-grey to a lighter brown-grey, creating a soft atmospheric effect that enhances depth. The objects rest on a white-grey base, which further unifies the composition and allows the play of light and shadow to be observed more clearly.

The scene evokes a sense of quiet balance and harmony. The contrast between the solid porcelain vase, the delicate glass vase, and the bright lemons suggests a dialogue between stability, fragility, and vibrancy. The branch with its sparse leaves introduces a subtle sense of movement and time, hinting at the passage of life within this still moment.
This is a scene from a tranquil interior, arranged with care and intention. The lemons suggest freshness and energy, while the vases hold a more contemplative presence, as if waiting to be filled. The painting captures the beauty of simple objects, emphasizing the quiet poetry of everyday life.
