Description of the artwork «Still Life with Pumpkin»
Still Life 2020 is painted on A2 watercolor paper. The dominant color in this painting is green. This color represents nature, expresses tranquility and harmony. The human eye perceives a wide spectrum of green - we can distinguish more shades of green than gradations of other colors.
The active colors of draperies, and other still life elements create powerful, lush reflections on glossy surfaces. The light and shade relations are described by the interaction of the main colors of the objects rather than by the traditional elements - light and shade. This expresses the idea of compositional unity.
