About the artwork

The painting shows a classic still life that captures the essence of Italian cuisine in all its splendour. At the centre of the composition is a rustic kitchen table, its marble surface telling of the traces of daily use. Spaghetti is draped on the table, arranged in gentle waves and offering an inviting texture. The golden noodles seem to be literally crying out for a delicious sauce.

The spaghetti is surrounded by bright red tomatoes, their shiny skin shimmering in the light and reminding the viewer of the freshness and sweetness of summer.

Next to the tomatoes are several cloves of garlic, their snow-white skins forming a beautiful contrast to the warm red tones of the tomatoes. The characteristic scent of fresh garlic seems to literally emanate from the picture and awakens the anticipation of the cooking to come.

The still life is completed by fresh basil, its deep green leaves arranged in a small bouquet. The leaves look lively and fresh, as if they have just been picked. Their intense aroma promises to enrich the flavour of the dish.

The colour palette of the painting is warm and inviting, with light shades of marble, the bright red of the tomatoes and the lush green of the basil. The light falls softly on the scene, creating shadows that add depth and dimension. This composition invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the world of Italian cookery and reflect on the joy of cooking and enjoyment - a tribute to the simple but delicious ingredients of life.
