STILL LIFE | Galina Stefanova

STILL LIFE

fine art, painting,

The majority of my still lives present realistically depicted objects in non-realistic situations. I play with ideas of what is possible or believable in reality. My still life art is inspired by nature and convey my own emotions, perceptions and ideas of life.

INTERACTIONS

Acrylic on Canvas, 30 x 100 cm
/ 12" x 39"

I was observing the interaction between the flower and the sun with curiosity. The leaves of the flower were stretching under the sun, allowing it to write whimsical drawings, shapes or just scribbles on them. Or maybe the sun was writing a secret letter to the flower on its leaves?
As I did not speak the language, I just diligently documented the interaction and tried to catch the feeling.

ALOE VERA

Oil on Canvas, 50 x 50 cm
/ 20" x 20"

I was drawn to the strict geometric shapes of the pot, the window frame and the roof, contrasting to the plant's leaves growing out freely in all directions as wild hair. The contrast of the colours is emphasizing the difference as well.
