Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “Easter Still Life with Red Orange” is a colorful and festive depiction, filled with the symbolism of Easter and a sense of spring renewal. The artist skillfully combines traditional attributes of this bright holiday, creating an atmosphere of joy, warmth, and hope.

In the center of the composition is a kulich, decorated with sugar glaze and multicolored sprinkles. Its appetizing appearance and golden hue create a feeling of a festive treat. Kulich is a symbol of resurrection, renewal, and hope for a bright future. It seems to invite the viewer to join the celebration and taste this delicious delicacy.

Next to the kulich are Easter eggs, painted in various colors. Red, yellow, pink, lilac - each color has its own meaning and symbolizes different aspects of Easter. Eggs are a symbol of new life, rebirth, and fertility. They are like small treasures, filling the still life with joy and colors.

A special emphasis in the still life is placed on the red orange, cut in half and located in the foreground of the painting. The bright red color of the orange pulp contrasts with the more muted tones of the other objects, attracting attention and symbolizing life and energy. The red orange can be perceived as a symbol of the sun, warmth, and fertility that come with spring.

Behind the kulich and eggs, a bottle of wine is visible, which is also a traditional element of the Easter table. Wine symbolizes the blood of Christ and the sacrament of communion. The bottle of wine gives the still life an element of solemnity and grandeur.

A light fabric, casually draped over the table, acts as a background. The fabric is executed in muted light tones, which allows the objects in the foreground to look more expressive. The fabric also has floral motifs. The background creates a sense of volume and depth and emphasizes the beauty and fragility of the objects.

In the left part of the painting, an image resembling an icon is visible, which gives the composition spirituality and consecrates the Easter table.

The artist uses bright and saturated colors to convey a feeling of joy and celebration. Warm hues, which are associated with spring, the sun, and warmth, prevail. The contrast between light and dark tones creates a sense of volume and depth.

Ekaterina Kebal’s painting technique in this work is characterized by freedom and expressiveness. The artist uses broad, impasto strokes that give the still life a sense of movement and liveliness. She does not strive for photographic accuracy but rather conveys her emotional perception of the objects.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of celebration, faith, and hope. It is an ode to Easter, a symbol of spring renewal and eternal life. The painting seems to invite the viewer to join the celebration, taste the kulich and eggs, and experience the joy of resurrection. This canvas is about spirituality, faith, and the simple pleasures of life. The painting radiates positive energy and reminds us of the value of family traditions.

The artist’s use of a red orange in the Easter still life is an unusual and original decision. This fruit, like the traditional Easter elements, carries the symbolism of life, renewal, and fertility.
