Stillife 4

This vibrant painting features a potted palm plant, characterized by its long, slender fronds that stretch outward and cast intriguing shadows on a soft blue background. The pot is painted in dark blue with striking red accents, enhancing its presence in the composition. The backdrop showcases light green walls with vertical slats that provide a subtle texture, creating a playful contrast with the plant. A simple framed artwork, marked by gentle reds and whites, hangs imperfectly above the plant, suggesting an artistic yet casual atmosphere. The floor is adorned with pastel-colored chalk pieces scattered beneath the pot, adding to the painting's overall charm. The color palette, dominated by blues, greens, and reds, emulates a refreshing and uplifting ambiance, invoking a serene yet stimulating environment. This artwork is suitable for modern living spaces, adding a touch of nature while harmonizing with contemporary decor.
This painting would make a perfect addition to a living room, home office, or a creative studio. It can serve as a focal point that enriches the atmosphere, inspiring creativity and tranquility. Additionally, its vibrant colors and unique subject matter would pair well with minimalistic or eclectic interior styles, contributing to a dynamic yet cohesive decor.

This still-life is part of a serie street still-lifes painted in NYC while working in my residency in 2019. In these still-lifes I was looking for the contrast of nature and 'trash' in the big city. I approached this in a classical way, trying to find streetscenes and translate this to a classic composition. - this painting is part if the street still-lives
