What is "still life"?
Still life is a type of artwork that shows non-living objects, often arranged in a specific way. These objects can include items like flowers, fruit, or everyday objects. The focus is on capturing the details, textures, and lighting of these objects, providing an opportunity for artists to explore shape, color, and form without the need for living subjects.
