Still Life Painting for Sale

Still life is a secular genre in painting characterized by the depiction of a familiar reality, most often through the representation of commonplace inanimate objects. The codes of still life are the use of an often-theatrical composition and the depiction of the ephemeral or the perishable. Traditionally, consumable or perishable objects are the favorite subject matter in still lifes: fruit or food leftovers on a table, flowers etc. The still life genre has a strong symbolism, and also includes representations of vanitas or “memento mori", sending a message on the passing time and the ephemerality of things. Still life continues to inspire contemporary artist who revisit it and explore its limits. Among these artists, we can mention: Thierry Genay, Ania Pieniazek, or Karina Lara.
