A casual still life – a space for a mood and an experiment.

     What do we know about a still life? It’ a popular art genre, known from the XVth century. Six centuries ago, and may be more, artists began to paint flowers on their canvases, devoted to various religious scenes. Now dozens and hundreds of pictures with flowers, fruits, vegetables  can be found in every art gallery. But  far from all of them affect our soul, arouse memories  and create any mood, however many of them are painted ideally.

     A modern still life is of quite different style. I’d call it “casual”.  Rather ordinary flowers, fruits, glasses and other things  are put together on those pictures, brushes are very often seem careless, and the whole atmosphere is bright and easy.

     These pictures give us a lot of fresh ideas how to decorate our space with flowers replacing traditional buckets. We can experiment with plants and vases or simple jars and create unique compositions full of  charm.
