Red, blue and yellow hues: The three primary colors of life mix and match to deliver unto us Still Life Living. This canvas art scene comes to us direct from the Mediterranean where the motto is work to live, not live to work'. Such a relaxed view, both in composition and philosophy deserves our consideration.
Modern in its conception and yet traditional in ideals Still Life Living could exhale the life of the Mediterranean into any room. Alive with color and content this oil painting depicts fruit, wine and olive oil, all of which represent the key to a happy and healthy life in the Mediterranean.
Olium , olive oil, and wine are unified in that they are among the first cultivated aliments of man. Olives are a fruit and were depicted by the Egyptians; the olive also appeared in varying forms within Greek frescos. Yet the famous olive oil, fruit and wine have never been exclusive to any particular class. We are all able to enjoy the fruits of life; as we are all free to enjoy Still Life Living.
This oil painting equally dedicates itself to the fruits of life ..as it does a fruitful life. Still life should be appreciated for what it is; a recollection of the real world around us , void of myth and allegories , Still Life Living is wholly a 'tale' from that which is real and true.
