About Artwork

This painting was made in Brooklyn, New York, 2016.

Still-life in Moonlight transforms the traditional still-life genre into a symbolic meditation on eternity, beauty, and the unknown. Set before a vast ocean illuminated by moonlight, the composition centers on an elaborate bouquet emerging from a Renaissance-inspired vase decorated with faces resembling mythological monsters. Rather than presenting flowers as decorative objects, the painting treats them as living forces suspended between growth and dissolution.

Still-Life in Moonlight. 2017. Acrylic & tempera on cardboard. 30″ x 40″ (76.2 cm. x 101.6 cm.)

The table, rendered in reversed perspective, creates a subtle sense of spatial instability. Instead of receding naturally into depth, it appears to open toward the viewer, drawing attention to the symbolic nature of the scene rather than its physical realism. Cool blue moonlight spreads across the tabletop and flowers, unifying the composition in an atmosphere of quiet mystery.

Behind the arrangement lies the ocean, traditionally associated with infinity, divinity, and the unknowable. In contrast to the finite lifespan of flowers, the sea suggests permanence and timeless existence. The strange faces on the vase introduce another layer of meaning, evoking ancient myths, hidden instincts, and the coexistence of beauty and darkness.

Balancing decorative richness with symbolic depth, Still-life in Moonlight invites contemplation of fleeting life against the backdrop of eternity.
