About the Item
Still life
1992, oil on cardboard, 80x100 cm
The composition features a stylized still life arrangement positioned by a window. The focal point of the painting is a blue vases, while green and orange fruits complement the scene. The artist's stylized interpretation involves simplified shapes and slightly exaggerated colors to enhance the visual impact of the still life.
The window in the background adds depth and context to the composition. It suggests an interior setting and introduces natural light, which casts soft shadows and highlights certain areas of the arrangement. The inclusion of the window also creates a sense of openness and connection to the outside world.
Laimdots Murnieks has said: "I am a sunny artist. The sun and a woman are the center of the world. It is not for nothing that the sun always comes with me in my paintings - it is the basis of everything and symbolizes my wife - Zhanna. I think that a woman is what inspires the whole world to do good deeds. I want to express such an idea with my painting - that the good will always win, that the beautiful will always win the world. That's the main thing! Neither war nor tragedies ever impress people like that, but it is beauty that gives strength to continue working and living . I was born under the Star of Happiness - everything has been achieved. Both in art and in love."
