Still Life

Still, Life is dead nature, which is opposed to being alive. My interpretation brings dynamics into it. I love using watercolor because of its loose quality and flow. I encourage you to experiment with it whether you are an art student, amateur professional, or apprentice. It is a friendly media that is neat and easy to clean. I learned the basics of still Life in my early education, and now it is fun to bend its rules. Still, Life is considered by critics and intellectuals as a medium to learn, sketch, and develop a new idea. It was not necessary in the past, but never disregarded the beauty of its pigments and who does it. Artists such as Caravaggio created many of the most interesting Still-life masterpieces. From its simplicity of shapes, Matisse took it to a design level. Sargent gave a dazzling and fresh look to his images.
My Still Life blends patterns, filling the forms to create eye movement, moreover, with meaning towards environmental art. The composition elements travel all over in unison.  Within, the geometric shapes interlace from circles to triangles in harmony. Pure improvisation comes with the academic theory. In breaking the concepts,” Parallelism” echoes the outline. The shadow suggests a ground where the whole weight rests. The blue disappears above, suggesting high above the sky. Although implied forms are stiff, I managed to articulate them. These are like fish shapes, from the bending brackets to half lines on the bottom. On the other side, I grabbed the dark and light tones to create continuity. As I mentioned before, creating a reality was not my goal. This Still Life is about its symbols reaching up to the sky as fruitful and rejoicing without doubts.
