#26824 Jesus De Perceval

The painting presents a still life centered around a ceramic vessel. The artist has positioned it prominently against a backdrop dominated by intense, swirling hues of red and brown. These colors are applied with visible brushstrokes, creating a sense of dynamism and textural richness that contrasts sharply with the relatively smooth surface of the depicted object.
Here we see the vessel itself rendered in shades of cream and gold, its form somewhat elongated and tapering towards the rim. The artist has emphasized decorative patterns on the ceramic’s surface through careful manipulation of light and shadow, suggesting intricate ornamentation. A handle extends from one side, adding to the functional appearance of the object.
The placement of the vessel upon a dark, horizontal plane introduces a sense of stability while also grounding it within the composition. The backgrounds turbulent coloration seems to press in on the still life, creating an interplay between containment and release. This visual tension might suggest themes of tradition versus modernity, or perhaps the enduring nature of crafted objects against a backdrop of constant change.
The signature located in the lower right corner is discreet but legible, indicating the artist’s presence without distracting from the central subject matter. Overall, the painting conveys an impression of quiet contemplation and appreciation for the beauty found within everyday objects.
