Still life paintings are artworks that depict inanimate objects, typically arranged in a composed and deliberate manner. The objects chosen for still life compositions can vary widely and may include everyday items like fruit, flowers, vases, books, or other common objects. The term "still life" emphasizes the static nature of the subject matter, as these objects are not in motion. Artists use still life paintings to explore composition, light and shadow, color, and texture, often showcasing their technical skill in capturing the details of the objects. Still life paintings can be realistic or stylized, and they offer artists the opportunity to experiment with different techniques while creating visually engaging and contemplative works of art.
