A still life painting is an artwork depicting inanimate objects, usually fruit, vegetables, flowers or utensils. There is something immensely soothing and appealing about these paintings. It is extraordinary to see how an artist can create such a hushed scene that is still full of colour, shape and texture.
Perhaps this is precisely why still-life paintings often hang in kitchens. After all, the kitchen is where we prepare our food and where we can relax after a busy day or week. A beautiful still life painting above the kitchen sink or dining table certainly contributes to those feelings of calm and relaxation.
Such a painting often depicts fruit, vegetables and other foods. Cycle past a local greengrocer and you will see why - these foods are such an important and natural appearance in our lives. Seeing those beautiful, rich colours and shapes reminds us of simple, healthy food.
So it is no surprise that such paintings are also often seen in restaurants or catering establishments. They create a warm, inviting atmosphere, helping guests relax and enjoy their meal.
So if you are still looking for a nice piece of art for your kitchen, consider a still life painting. It will definitely provide a cheerful note on the wall and will be a refreshing change from the usual wall decorations. Why not add something that is aesthetically pleasing and culinary pleasing at the same time?
