This original artwork “Still life with a samovar” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ekaterina Kebal  and is available for sale online

Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “Still Life with a Samovar” is a colorful and atmospheric depiction of a tea-drinking scene in a traditional Russian style. The artist skillfully combines various objects, colors, and textures to create a feeling of coziness, warmth, and hospitality.

The central place in the composition is occupied by a shiny copper samovar, which, like the sun, illuminates the entire still life. Its rounded shape and golden hue immediately attract the viewer’s gaze. The samovar seems filled with warmth and ready to share it with everyone present. The clear lines of the samovar, along with the casual manner of depicting other objects, contrast and attract attention.

In front of the samovar, on a table covered with a light tablecloth, there is a plate with fresh pastries. The golden buns and pies look appetizing and tempting. Next to the plate is a beautiful apple and a spoon, which hints at an imminent tea party.

A pitcher is also included in the composition, its blue color diluting the yellow-orange palette of the still life.

A bright tablecloth with a floral pattern covers the table. Its bright colors and intricate pattern add an element of festivity and solemnity to the still life. The tablecloth is casually crumpled, which creates a sense of dynamics and liveliness.

In the background of the painting, other objects are visible, which complement the overall composition but do not distract excessive attention. This is possibly a basket of fruit, a jar of jam, or other attributes of Russian tea drinking. They are depicted in muted tones, which allows the samovar and other objects in the foreground to remain the main accents of the still life.

The artist uses bright and saturated colors to convey a feeling of summer warmth and joy. Yellow, orange, and red hues, which are associated with the sun, warmth, and comfort, 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, which 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 hospitality, heartfelt warmth, and the joy of communication. The still life seems to invite the viewer to join the tea party, taste fresh pastries, and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding world. This canvas is an ode to Russian traditions, family values, and the simple pleasures of life. The painting radiates positive energy and evokes a desire to be together with loved ones.
