DESCRIPTION

The juicy red flesh of the watermelon contrasts with its green rind - I tried to convey not just its appearance, but the sense of freshness and coolness it evokes. Each seed and every gleam on the succulent surface was carefully rendered.
The blue vase with white flowers creates a vertical accent and adds freshness to the composition. The sprigs of snowberry were chosen for their delicacy and ability to soften the overall composition.
The seashells add an element of surprise and emphasize the maritime, summer theme. Their pearlescent tones echo the patterns in the fabric and create interesting light accents.

In this work, I sought to convey the feeling of a luxurious summer day, combining Oriental sophistication with the simple beauty of natural forms. Each element of the composition was carefully considered - from the folds of fabric to the finest details of the pattern.
The color palette is built on the contrast of warm and cool tones - the juicy red shades of watermelon and drapery, cool turquoise tones of fabric, deep blue of the vase. All this is unified by the warm golden background, creating a sense of sunlight.

This work is my vision of how to combine the simplicity of summer joys with the sophistication of Oriental style, creating a composition that evokes feelings of luxury and freshness simultaneously.
