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.

Still life painting is a genre that depicts inanimate objects such as flowers, fruits, and household items. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Egypt and Greece, but it gained popularity in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe. It is a popular subject for artists to showcase their technical skills and creativity.
Common objects or themes found in still life paintings include fruits, flowers, vases, books, musical instruments, and household items. These paintings often depict a moment frozen in time, showcasing the beauty and simplicity of everyday objects.
Common techniques used in still life painting include composition, lighting, color, and texture. These techniques contribute to the overall effect of the artwork by creating a sense of depth, realism, and mood. The composition and lighting can draw the viewer's eye to specific objects, while the use of color and texture can create a sense of atmosphere and emotion.
A contemporary still life revisits the classical genre by depicting everyday objects with modern techniques or current themes. It often questions our relationship to consumption, the environment, or society.
The four types of still life are floral still life, food still life, object still life (books, instruments, dishes), and animal still life. Each depicts specific elements to express a mood or message.
A modern still life revisits classic codes by incorporating contemporary objects, innovative materials, and bold compositions. It reflects current concerns and explores new means of artistic expression.
