Still Life 4, 2025 _{An Oil on Canvas, Realism, Painting}

At the heart of the painting is a small, expressive owl, its feathers rendered with soft, delicate brushstrokes. Its bright yellow eyes gaze outward with an inquisitive intensity, contrasting with the cold precision of the metallic gears beside it. A delicate red cherry rests in front of the owl, adding a touch of whimsy and color to the composition. The dark background enhances the depth, drawing attention to the intricate textures and the fascinating juxtaposition of organic life and mechanical elements.

The painting’s earthy tones and muted metallic hues create a timeless atmosphere, while the subtle red and blue highlights add vibrancy to the otherwise subdued palette. The textures—whether the softness of the owl’s feathers, the worn metal of the gears, or the smooth surface of the cherry—are meticulously captured, bringing an impressive level of realism to this imaginative composition.

Perfect for study rooms, libraries, workspaces, and surrealist art collections, "Still Life 4" is a statement piece that invites curiosity and sparks conversation. Its balance of playfulness and sophistication makes it a unique addition to any art collection.
