Still life painting portrays inanimate objects, often arranged in a carefully composed manner. These objects can include fruits, flowers, everyday items, or symbolic elements, emphasizing their textures, colors, and forms. The genre allows artists to explore themes of beauty, transience, and the relationship between materiality and perception. Through still life, artists can also convey deeper meanings, reflecting cultural or personal narratives.
