SUNSHINE. Aleksandr Shandor
ABOUT ARTWORK
This original oil painting presents a striking still life composition, brought to life through a bright and bold color palette. The use of local colors gives the work a flat, decorative quality, while the dynamic arrangement of objects adds visual interest and balance. The focal point of the piece is the far corner of the table, where a white ceramic teapot sits prominently on a tray, framed by soft pink flowers behind it.
To the right, a glass vase filled with delicate lilac branches adds texture and elegance. The teapot rests at a colorful turquoise drapery, which flows across the table, enhancing the vibrant setting. Scattered around the drapery are various fruits, each adding to the painting’s playful use of color— a bright yellow lemon, a rich orange, and a purple pomegranate, their diverse hues bringing further vibrancy to the scene.
The background is equally colorful, with shades of yellow-green and blue-burgundy creating a harmonious yet lively backdrop. The artist's choice of a vivid, bold color scheme and the careful arrangement of everyday objects transform this still life into a celebration of color, light, and form, offering a fresh, modern take on a traditional genre.
