Stillness and Silk

Stillness and Silk is a warm, richly detailed still life that brings together ripe peaches and traditional woven textiles in a feast of texture, pattern, and color. The fruits rest effortlessly atop a vibrantly embroidered cloth, itself folded and draped in rhythmic diagonals that lead the eye across the canvas.

The composition honors both the bounty of nature and the artistry of human craft. The deep reds, greens, and ochres echo a folkloric aesthetic, giving the piece an almost celebratory tone—one that evokes both nostalgia and cultural identity.

Through careful rendering and compositional balance, the work captures the tactile tension between soft fruit skin and textured fabric, lending a sense of life and warmth to the static moment. A perfect addition for collectors of heritage-inspired or textile-focused art.
